The landscape is dramatic—even a bit moody, with the Cuillin Range in the background—but outdoorsy kids will have a blast on the Isle of Skye. Plenty of water sports are available, and you’ll also find great hiking and even pony rides. Portree, the largest town, makes a great base for exploring this striking island.

The Fairy Glen is a unique and unusual landscape, a geological wonder on the Isle of Skye. It is situated between the villages of Sheader and Balnacnoc.

Went to explore the stunning landscape and scenery of Fairy Glen, its a magical looking place, situated near Uig. Well worth taking the trouble to go, take stout footwear so you can climb some of the small hills for the views of the surrounding conical shaped hills, its pretty special.

Great little find in the middle of nowhere! We had a variety of dishes - langoustines, scallops, hot smoked salmon, kippers and oysters - all so fresh and amazing. Paul the owner was so friendly with lots of information on the oysters and the staff were so friendly too. Picnic benches out the front with superb views. Great food and great experience! Highly recommend.

We arrived yesterday and the road towards the Neist point was a single track road with passing points. Drive careful as looks like the islands roads have had a bad winter with quite a few pot holes in the road. When we arrived they where putting some white lines down to provide more parking. There was only about 10 car bays originally but much more added on the road side now. Parking is free! Be warned there is no toilet facilities here so stop off at one of the cafes on the way up. I would describe the view as a natural beauty and an enjoyable walk although there is a steep climb on getting back up to the car park, although it has a grab rail to help. A lady in a shop on the way back advised me of the best view was to head to the right of the car park and there you can see the lighthouse on the cliff top. Sadly I didn’t know this till after. There is no shops at the neist point however we passed by just 2 minutes away from the point, a local lady who has opened a shop and also has sheep and lambs, which she is happy for you to go look at. One had just been born that morning. She will also go make you a hot drink with just a donation made. She’s very friendly and it made our trip talking to a local and browsing around her shop. She even let me have a go at needle felting. I would highly recommend buying a souvenir from her shop which is hand made using her wool from her sheep rather then a tacky souvenir which you can buy anywhere. Her stuff was really unique and different. She doesn’t have trip advisor so I can’t leave her a review on her page but I would love people to have the same experience we did chatting to her and meeting the lambs. Her shop was called Kelpie crafts and art gallery her name was Linda Jackson, her shop / sheep is set back off the road and it was on a sharp left bend on as your heading towards the point.

Don't follow Google maps to get to the Lump. Instead walk towards RBS and the minor hospital. There's a gate and path to your left which you follow We went the long way around the cliff first which is a small path. It is a hidden gem in Portree with lovely views around.

We took on this walk on a fairly fine day, it may me a bit more challenging if the weather isn’t great. The walk takes you through a spectacular forest, where you will see lots of fairy doors and fairies a amongst the trees, placed there I think by local school children. The walk takes you along and up a forest trail before opening up to amazing views and the Duirinish Stone, it stands 5 metres high and weighs in at 5 tonnes, and was placed there in 2000 by local residents using nothing more than ‘ropes, Pully’s and manpower’. High,y recommended walk for all
