Skye’s reputation as a place of legendary, ethereal beauty is well deserved. The imposing geology and lush nature of the Scottish Highlands are on full display, where misty mountains meet crashing waves and even the changing light feels enchanted. Spend your evenings in Portree, a harbour town rich with history, as you journey into the untamed wild. The journey there is not to be overlooked, passing through the majestic Glencoe and the notorious Loch Ness.
