What to do and see in Isle of Skye, Scotland: The Best Things to do Good for Kids

January 29, 2022 Leida Jutras

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.

Clay pigeon shooting with Matt was absolutely fantastic! First time for both of us and we had an amazing time. Fun, safe, and competitive. Matt makes you feel relaxed and at ease immediately, fires kept us from freezing too too much, and we were both able to hit quite a few! Would recommend clay pigeon shooting for anyone visiting Skye - and you get to meet famous Blaze the dog too!

Sound of Sleat Beach

Reviewed By Catherinetas

The walk undulates through sheep paddocks and is wet in places, becoming quite braided and boggy once you leave the vehicle track. The beach is beautiful and in brilliant sunshine on the day we visited was reminiscent of the Aegean. Although there were numerous family groups and couples passed along the way the beach itself wasn't crowded and it was lovely enjoying a swim and a picnic before walking back to the car. Lovely on a fine day.

Fairy Glen

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.

Reviewed By BillBT2017 - Aberdeen, United Kingdom

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.

Skye Museum of Island Life

Reviewed By markrS7864NZ - Lytham St Anne's, United Kingdom

We've been to Skye a number of times, but not been to the Skye Museum until now and it was well worth the visit! First of all, there was room to park (busy holiday period) and handy toilets. The black houses are very well equipped and informative, the shop is well stocked and reasonably priced and it's only a few minutes walk up the road to Flora McDonald's memorial. Great value at £3 per adult.
