The Isle of Skye, connected to Scotland's northwest coast by bridge, is known for its rugged landscapes, picturesque fishing villages and medieval castles. The largest island in the Inner Hebrides archipelago, it has an indented coastline of peninsulas and narrow lochs, radiating out from a mountainous interior. The town of Portree, a base for exploring the island, features harbourside pubs and boutiques.
Isle of Skye is the largest and northernmost of the major islands in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. The island's peninsulas radiate from a mountainous centre dominated by the Cuillins, the rocky slopes of which provide some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the country. Although it has been suggested that the Gaelic Sgitheanach describes a winged shape there is no definitive agreement as to the name's origins.
The main industries are tourism, agriculture, fishing and forestry. Skye is part of the Highland Council local government area. The island's largest settlement is Portree, known for its picturesque harbour. There are links to various nearby islands by ferry and, since 1995, to the mainland by a road bridge. The climate is mild, wet and windy. The abundant wildlife includes the golden eagle, red deer and Atlantic salmon. The local flora are dominated by heather moor, and there are nationally important invertebrate populations on the surrounding sea bed. Skye has provided the locations for various novels and feature films and is celebrated in poetry and song.
Portree in the north at the base of Trotternish is the largest settlement and is the main service centre on the island. Broadford, the location of the island's only airstrip, is on the east side of the island and Dunvegan in the north-west is well known for its castle and the nearby Three Chimneys restaurant. The 18th-century Stein Inn on the Waternish coast is the oldest pub on Skye. Kyleakin is linked to Kyle of Lochalsh on the mainland by the Skye Bridge, which spans the narrows of Loch Alsh. Uig, the port for ferries to the Outer Hebrides, is on the west of the Trotternish peninsula and Edinbane is between Dunvegan and Portree. Much of the rest of the population lives in crofting townships scattered around the coastline.
Skye is linked to the mainland by the Skye Bridge, while ferries sail from Armadale on the island to Mallaig, and from Kylerhea to Glenelg. Ferries also run from Uig to Tarbert on Harris and Lochmaddy on North Uist, and from Sconser to Raasay. The Isle of Skye Airfield at Ashaig, near Broadford, is used by private aircraft and occasionally by NHS Highland and the Scottish Ambulance Service for transferring patients to hospitals on the mainland.

Journey to Scotland: Brits Abroad, Bucket List, and Channel Update [CC]
January 2019: A hotchpotch video where I ramble away to the camera on my way up to the Outer Hebrides with the Airstream.
Our route takes up up the M6 through the Lake District to the M74. After overnighting near Stirling, we head along the A84, A85, A82, and A87 via Crianlarich, Glen Coe, Fort William, Invergarry, and Kyle of Lochalsh. Of course, we are heading to the Isle of Skye on onwards to the Outer Hebrides.
Wrapping up from the last tour (Portugal, Spain, France) I talk about some of the issues faced, and how others might want to consider a Rally or Guided tour if taking an extended break abroad.
After a night at Uig Bay Campsite on the Isle of Skye ( we sail with Caledonian MacBrayne about the CalMac Ferries mv Hebrides from Uig to Lochmaddy.

Isle of Skye has been occupied since the Mesolithic period, and its history includes a time of Norse rule and a long period of domination by Clan MacLeod and Clan Donald. The 18th-century Jacobite risings led to the breaking up of the clan system and subsequent Clearances that replaced entire communities with sheep farms, some of which also involved forced emigrations to distant lands.

The A87 trunk road traverses the island from the Skye Bridge to Uig, linking most of the major settlements. Many of the island's roads have been widened in the past forty years although there are still substantial sections of single track road.
Skye has a strong folk music tradition, although in recent years dance and rock music have been growing in popularity on the island. Gaelic folk rock band Runrig started in Skye and former singer Donnie Munro still works on the island. Runrig's second single and a concert staple is entitled Skye, the lyrics being partly in English and partly in Gaelic.

An intro to the Hebridean Way
An intro to walking the Hebridean Way, a 155 mile (247km) walking route along the length of the Outer Hebrides. From the island of Vatersay to Stornoway on Lewis, the waymarked route can be walked in 8-13 days and crosses a variety of terrain including shell beaches, rugged hills and wild moor. The guidebook also includes an extension to the Butt of Lewis.
The Hebridean Way - 1st on YouTube! (156miles/247km walking route) September 2017
This is our adventure on Britain's newest long distance walking route The Hebridean Way in September 2017. We completed the 156 mile walk in 11 days and this is the first video on YouTube on the completed walking route.
If you are thinking of backpacking this route and want some information leave a comment and I'll get back to you.
I will warn you though that the route in some places is not very well waymarked and there are long stretches of road walking to contend with along with very exposed moorland crossings. Think of the Rannoch Moor crossing on the West Highland Way then times it by 10 !
Also, apart from the Machair Way, you will be following waymarkers through pathless marshland where no one has walked before these markers were placed. Only near the end of the trail, before the 9 mile road walk to Lews Castle, you will actually walk on established paths again like The Coffin Route and The Scholars' Path.
You will also need to carry water in the south part of the islands because freshwater is scarce.
It is a long, lonely walk but it will reward you with landscape like nowhere else on the British Isles and the people of the Hebrides are so far beyond hospitable that a new word should be added to the dictionary just for them! :-)
