Isle of Skye

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. There are 12 Cuillin Munros, which are acknowledged as the hardest to attain. The Inaccessible Pinnacle is one of the most revered and is equally popular with climbers and adventurous visitors
