Top things to do in the Isle of Skye
"The next stop was a landslip called the Quiraing. A landslip may not sound very exciting but it is another distinctive area of scenery on the Isle of Skye and provides some nice views from the top. The landslip formed on the eastern face of the Meall na Suiramach, the northernmost summit of the Trotternish. The Quiraing is home to a number of landmark rock formations, including The Needle, The Table, and the Prison and a popular place for hiking."
"Staffin Bay is dominated by the dramatic basalt escarpment of the Quiraing: its impressive land-slipped cliffs and pinnacles constitute one of Skye’s most remarkable landscapes. From a parking area at the highest point of the minor road between Staffin and Uig you can walk north to the Quiraing in half an hour."
"Another popular attraction on the Isle of Skye is the Faerie Pools near Glenbrittle. The Fairie pools are a series of scenic clear water pools on the River Brittle with small waterfalls. This is another popular place for a short hike, it is about a 45 minute roundtrip hike from the carpark to reach the main fairy pools. Sadly during our visit, it was raining and gray making the area very muddy and not a fun place to hike so we skipped the faerie pools and headed back to Portree for the evening."
"One of our first stops was to take a look at the Old Man of Storr, which is one of the most recognizable rock formations on the Isle of Skye. It is a finger of rock that juts out of the surrounding landscape. Ross told us the legend behind the name and you’ll find that many of the rock formations in Scotland have interesting legends behind them. The Old Man of Storr hike is one of the most popular and busiest walks on the island and it takes about 1.5 hours to hike up and down the trail from the carpark."
