Isle of Skye
Highland, United Kingdom
Largest and most northerly large island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. It sits in high or exposed country, where the weather changes fast and proper boots and waterproofs matter even in summer.
Why visit: The Hebrides, Orkney, Skye and the Scillies — white-sand beaches, Neolithic sites and seabird colonies at the edge of the country.
- ›Book the ferry or plane well ahead in summer
- ›Check the return sailing before you commit to a day trip
- ›Look for puffins and seals in season
- ›Allow a spare day — crossings get cancelled
