Skye Fairy Pools/ Fairy Glen/ Kilt rock / Old Man Storr

Travelling out of Inverness for 20 minutes we stop here at Urquhart Castle for 15 minutes for a photo opportunity.

It takes us 1 hour and 15 minutes to travel from Urquhart Castle to Eilean Donan Castle , this is the most photographed Castle in Scotland and we stop here for a photo opportunity and a rest room break.

Travelling from Eilean Donan Castle it takes us 1 hour to reach our first stop on the Isle of Skye which is The Fairy Pools , here you can hike for 75 minutes and enjoy the beautiful landscape. It is a 20 minute walk to the first pool so people should have a reasonable level of fitness.

Following your hike at The Fairy Pools we travel for 40 minutes to Portree. Portree is the main town on the Isle of Skye and we stop here for 45 minutes to enable you to get some lunch and see the pretty little harbour with its painted houses.

Twenty minute drive from Portree we reach The Fairy Glen which is our next stop and the landscape here will take your breath away , some locals say the little conical hills are the fairy houses and and the top is Castle Ewen ,the Fairy Castle. We stop here for 30 minutes for you to take in the beauty of this place.

We stop at the Idrigil Bay viewpoint above the ferry port of Uig where you get fantastic views of Idrigil Bay.

Twenty minute drive from the top of The Quiraing we reach Kilt rock which is so called because the rock formations of the basalt columns resemble the pleats of a kilt , you will also see Mealt falls as the water drops down 180 feet in to The Sound of Raasay.

A short 15 minute drive from Kilt rock we reach The Old Man of Storr , a 160 foot high rock pinnacle sitting on Storr Mountain , we stop at a nearby parking place where you get the best view of this iconic landmark.

A 15 Minute drive from The Old Man of Storr takes us back in to Portree where we stop at The Skye Candle Visitor Centre for a rest room break for 15 minutes before we start our 2 hour and 30 minute drive back to Inverness.
