Top 10 Things to do in Kyle of Lochalsh, Scotland

April 29, 2022 Lashaunda Abraham

Kyle of Lochalsh (from the Scottish Gaelic Caol Loch Aillse, "strait of the foaming loch") is a village on the northwest coast of Scotland, 63 miles (100 km) west of Inverness. It is located on the Lochalsh peninsula, at the entrance to Loch Alsh, opposite the village of Kyleakin on the Isle of Skye. A ferry used to connect the two villages until it was replaced by the Skye Bridge, about a mile (2 km) to the west, in 1995.

Eilean Donan Castle

This picturesque castle, built in 1220, holds the title of the most photographed castle in Scotland.

Reviewed By Armaska - Tallinn, Estonia

Eilean Donan was our third castle after Stirling and Inveraray and they all were worth the visits! They all have picturesque locations but they are super different in the inside. We really liked the Eilean Donan audio tour and we specially liked the kitchen and bedrooms - super interesting to see how noble people lived. And do not miss the before pictures - it is unbelievable that a family (and restoration worker) had the vision and means to build it up again. Definitely a gem!

Kyle Line (Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh)

Travel coast to coast across the Highlands, in the shadows of mountains and forests, beside bright lochs and wide open moors. The Kyle line draws a wide arc from Inverness to the shores of Loch Alsh, taking in spectacular Highland scenery – and finishing with magnificent views of Skye. Just outside Inverness lies Dingwall, a pretty market town that’s perfect for a stop off or a connection to the Far North Line. From there, the train takes you past lochs and moors as you travel through the Highlands. Keep an eye out for one of the most distinctive mountain ranges in Scotland, the Torridon Peaks, looming out of the north. On the final stretch of the journey, the train picks its way along the coast south to Loch Alsh.

Skye Bridge

Reviewed By annedU711TF - Chesterfield, United Kingdom

Regardless of how many times we visit Scotland and cross this bridge it never loses its brilliance. Even though the ferry crossing to Skye is a pleasant experience I find the bridge crossing so much nicer. Because of the virus situation, If you cross on the ferry you're not allowed out of your car when on the ferry unless you're a foot passenger. When crossing the bridge I always think of the local people that fought a long hard fight to get the toll charges removed.
