The Skye Ferry

The Skye Ferry closed for 2020.

Reviewed By cecilyg2015 - Glasgow, United Kingdom

This is the perfect Zen experience! Anticipation as you watch the small ferry making its crab-like way through the fast currents in the Sound of Sleat. Take photos as she twirls into the slipway at Glenelg, turntable at the ready. She can load up to 6 cars including 12 passengers then quickly off for the ten minute journey to Skye across the waters . The ferry has been refurbished recently by the enterprising community of Glenelg-Skye and gives great pleasure to tourists and an efficient service to commuters who would otherwise have a much longer drive to the bridge between mainland and Skye.

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.
