what’s on Skye and Lochalsh

Since the days of Sir Walter Scott and JMW Turner, the sharp, rugged outline of the Cuillins of Skye have taken people’s breath away. These high and mighty peaks dominate the landscape wherever you are on Skye. Mainland Lochalsh is rugged hill country too, and home to the famous, picture postcard attraction, Eilean Donan Castle, on the shores of Loch Duich – probably the most photographed historic attraction in Scotland.
