The Skye Guide is an independent and personal view of the Isle of Skye. The things that are included in the guide are here because I like them - and because I think you might too. If something is not included, it may be because I would not recommend it to you, but it may be simply that I have not experienced it.
I am happy with that ambiguity...

Camas Daraich
Camas Daraich, at the far south of Skye, is one of the best places on the island to spend a warm, sunny day. It's a bit of a hike from the nearest road though....
Dulse & Brose, Portree
In recent years there has been a lot of development of eating places on Skye. In the summer, demand is still outstripping supply - especially in Portree. One of the best of the newer restaurants is Dulse & Brose at the Bosville Hotel on Bosville Terrace.
Portree - Waterfalls at Ollach
This is a very pleasant short circular walk - less than a mile and a half long - in the Braes area, south of Portree. Though short, it is nicely varied, with woodland path, moorland track and public road as the walking surfaces. There are good waterfalls, and an excellent viewpoint that's ideal for a quiet moment on a summer evening.
Red Hills - Marsco
Marsco is one of the classic hills of Skye. Its distinctive pyramidal profile dominates the view southwards from Sligachan. The views from its 736m summit are great, with a panorama of the main Cuillin Ridge, close views of Bla Bheinn, Garbh-bheinn and the rest of the Red Hills, and a wide outlook over the mainland.
There are several good routes to the top. The usual one leaves Sligachan following the Loch Coruisk path for about 3km.
