I'd been scrambling on the Cuillin ridge for a couple of days and needed to do something less chelllenging. As I had never been to Raasay, Dun Caan seemed like a good choice. I can honestly say that for limited effort, I enjoyed this excursion as much as I did the pointy stuff. As other reviewers have said, the views are tremendous both near and far. The landscape is curious with lochans dotted here and there. I was fortunate to spot a pair of black throated divers on one such lochan (I'm not a twitcher but my photos confirmed the ID. On the ferry return to Skye I saw great northern divers (common loon) to confirm the subtle differences.

A new whisky and gin distillery on the Scottish scene, but they sure are doing something right! Our tour leader was wonderfully engaging and kind, including plenty of history about the island, its people, and its unique geology. They have done a beautiful job with the building, and put a lot of thought into every detail. Personable, scenic, and delicious... they should be very proud. Can’t wait for their first single malt release next year!
