1. The Skye Ferry

The Skye Ferry closed for 2020.
Reviewed By cecilyg2015 - Glasgow, United Kingdom
This is the perfect Zen experience! Anticipation as you watch the small ferry making its crab-like way through the fast currents in the Sound of Sleat. Take photos as she twirls into the slipway at Glenelg, turntable at the ready. She can load up to 6 cars including 12 passengers then quickly off for the ten minute journey to Skye across the waters . The ferry has been refurbished recently by the enterprising community of Glenelg-Skye and gives great pleasure to tourists and an efficient service to commuters who would otherwise have a much longer drive to the bridge between mainland and Skye.
2. Red Moon Cruises
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 29 reviews
Red Moon Cruises specialises in private, bespoke cruises on the Scottish West Coast. Many visitors visit Scotland yet few get to appreciate it from the most vivid of vantage points - the sea. Our motor sailing boat Red Moon, is a characterful small cruising vessel - safe and secure, yet extremely well appointed and comfortable. Red Moon carries up to four guests and is available for your exclusive use. We usually operate around the Skye area in the summer months and Oban and Mull in spring and autumn. For the remainder of 2020 we are cruising solely in the Oban and Mull sea area.
3. Eilean Donan Castle

4.5 based on 4,314 reviews
This picturesque castle, built in 1220, holds the title of the most photographed castle in Scotland.
Reviewed By Armaska - Tallinn, Estonia
Eilean Donan was our third castle after Stirling and Inveraray and they all were worth the visits! They all have picturesque locations but they are super different in the inside. We really liked the Eilean Donan audio tour and we specially liked the kitchen and bedrooms - super interesting to see how noble people lived. And do not miss the before pictures - it is unbelievable that a family (and restoration worker) had the vision and means to build it up again. Definitely a gem!
4. Kyle Line (Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 315 reviews
Travel coast to coast across the Highlands, in the shadows of mountains and forests, beside bright lochs and wide open moors. The Kyle line draws a wide arc from Inverness to the shores of Loch Alsh, taking in spectacular Highland scenery – and finishing with magnificent views of Skye. Just outside Inverness lies Dingwall, a pretty market town that’s perfect for a stop off or a connection to the Far North Line. From there, the train takes you past lochs and moors as you travel through the Highlands. Keep an eye out for one of the most distinctive mountain ranges in Scotland, the Torridon Peaks, looming out of the north. On the final stretch of the journey, the train picks its way along the coast south to Loch Alsh.
5. Brochs at Glenelg - Dun Telve & Dun Troddan

Reviewed By ZanderAustralia - Fort Lauderdale, United States
A few minutes drive from Glenelg Inn up a little glen, the brochs are something to behold. One can imagine a thriving community living in these hills thousands of years ago. There are a few information boards that describe how the structures functioned as homes for the Picts and their livestock. Well worth a stop.
6. Skye Bridge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 35 reviews
Reviewed By annedU711TF - Chesterfield, United Kingdom
Regardless of how many times we visit Scotland and cross this bridge it never loses its brilliance. Even though the ferry crossing to Skye is a pleasant experience I find the bridge crossing so much nicer. Because of the virus situation, If you cross on the ferry you're not allowed out of your car when on the ferry unless you're a foot passenger. When crossing the bridge I always think of the local people that fought a long hard fight to get the toll charges removed.
