Ultimate Isle of Skye + West Coast Scotland Itinerary
We’ve spent many years travelling around the beautiful Isle of Skye & West Coast Scotland, exploring its picturesque villages, hiking its incredible trails and scenic viewpoints, staying in its best accommodation, seeking the most scenic places, discovering hidden beaches and swimming spots, and enjoying the island's exceptional food scene.
We know how hard it can be to plan a trip when you don't know where to start, where to find the best and most beautiful places, how to avoid the crowds, or what is actually worth investing your time visiting!
That's why we poured our decades of knowledge into this ultimate Skye digital guide and daily itinerary.
Each spot in our guide has been chosen based on our expert knowledge and personal experiences, plus it outlines exactly how to find the places I recommend, dropped pins to make finding them super easy, when to visit to avoid the crowds, and practical tips like what to wear and anything you need to be aware of, parking, routes, and where to eat.
We hope you love exploring this map and our carefully chosen Skye adventures! We're always adding new places to the map, so you know this guide has the most up-to-date inspiration.
