DAYS OUT
To enable you to plan your days effectively and make good use of your time, we have split the Island, neighbouring Isle of Rassay and Lochalsh (mainland) into suggested days out. We have shared our favourite walks, attractions, restaurants and other Top Tips to simplify your trip planning. Some of these are iconic locations, some of them are ‘off the beaten track’. There is so much to do in North and Central Skye you might not venture further, so we have included more information for these spectacular regions.

PLANNING DAYS OUT
Using the AA Route Planner, we have outlined distance and travel times to locations within each regional area, (using Flashadder as the starting point). We hope this helps maximise your opportunities and your enjoyment of your visit with us.
