Tour Stops

The Fairy Bridge

At the Fairy Bridge in Skye, legend and reality intertwine. It's said the Chief of the MacLeods fell for a fairy maiden, and their love bore a child. Despite their deep bond, their time was brief - a mere year and a day. Their parting at this bridge saw the fairy gift their son the Fairy Flag, a powerful relic to protect the MacLeod clan. As we continue, Dunvegan Castle awaits with more tales of this enchanting story.

Dunvegan Castle & Gardens

Dunvegan Castle stands as a symbol of Scotland's deep history and the legacy of Clan MacLeod. For eight centuries, its walls have housed heirlooms like the Fairy Flag and Dunvegan Cup. Beyond its interiors lie vibrant gardens such as the Rose Garden and Water Garden. As you depart, carry with you tales and memories from this ancient marvel, and relish the magical journey back.

Claigan Coral Beach

Discover the tropical allure of Claigan Coral Beach, a Skye gem with unique sands and turquoise waters. With a convenient car park and a short walk, the beach unfolds as a serene paradise. Beware of farm animals on your way, and for a breathtaking view, visit during the afternoon sun. Relish its beauty before retracing your route back.

Neist point viewpoint

At Neist Point, park your vehicle and prepare for the sight of the iconic lighthouse, standing majestically on sea cliffs since 1909. A beacon for mariners, its history intertwines with tales of brave keepers and shipwrecks. Whether you're a photographer or hiker, the area promises unforgettable views, especially during the golden hour. If hiking to the lighthouse, ensure sturdy footwear for the steep paths. After soaking in its magic, our next destination is the Talisker Distillery.

Talisker Distillery

Talisker Distillery, Isle of Skye's oldest working distillery, welcomes visitors to savor its famous single-malt Scotch in Carbost village. Even with limited time, enjoy a "wee dram" of this liquid treasure. Nearby, the Talisker Waterfall, especially majestic after rains, offers spectacular views from Talisker Beach, where strong winds can make the cascade seem to flow upwards.

The Majestic Cuillin Mountains

The Majestic Cuillin Mountains dominate Skye's landscape, comprising the challenging Black Cuillin and the captivating Red Cuillin, divided by Glen Sligachan. The Black Cuillin, the UK's toughest mountain range, boasts 11 Munros and 16 additional summits. A haven for mountaineers, these peaks reveal nature's artistry and age-old shaping forces. Our journey continues to the Fairy Pools, echoing Skye's magic and lore.

The Enchanting Fairy Pools

The Fairy Pools of Skye, set amidst the Black Cuillin mountains, shimmer with legends of the Clan MacLeod and fairy tales. These spring-fed pools invite adventurers and nature lovers alike. A delightful hike leads to the pristine lower pools, believed to have been frequented by fairies, and further on, the tranquil upper pools nestle in seclusion. Immerse in their magic before continuing our journey towards B009, cherishing this enchanting encounter.

The Mythical Sligachan Old Bridge

The Sligachan Old Bridge, characterized by its stone arches, is both a picturesque landmark and a vessel of Skye's rich lore. Beyond its facade are tales of legendary warriors, Scathach and Cuchulainn, whose fierce battle was halted by faeries and a wise maiden. Nearby stands a statue honoring mountaineers Professor Norman Collie and John Mackenzie. Under the bridge flows a river, believed to bestow eternal beauty upon those who dare to submerge their face in its chilly embrace, courtesy of a faerie's magic.
