Stunning Mountain Views
The approach to the Isle of Skye from the Sound of Sleat is awe-inspiring, with the outline of the Cuillin mountain range a dramatic backdrop above the deeply indented coastline. To reach Skye, the itinerary takes in the coast of Ardnamurchan and the “Small Isles” of Rum, Eigg, Canna and Muck; the close location of these islands, each uniquely different from the other, is an island-hopping delight. On the Scottish west coast, with views of the Isles of Skye and Raasay ever present, there is a choice of fjord-like sea lochs to explore including Loch Carron, Loch Nevis, Loch Hourn and Loch Torridon. The quintessential Scottish Castle, Eilean Donan, is en route, set scenically at the meeting point of another three sea lochs.
