Isle of Skye, Scotland |
May, 2002 |
Trip Discription
The Isle of Skye is a lovely island situated in the north-western part of Scotland. The coastline of its northern part (called Trotternish) is extremely beautiful and attractive. We visited there in May, which is actually not an ideal month for good weather. (The best months should be July to Sept, as said by the local people). |
Description :
We had a one-day round trip around the northern part "Trotternish" of Skye (see map). We started from Portree and travelled along the east coast first. The Old Man of Storr is a natural scenery. You will not miss this huge rock collection.

Description : The eastern coastline of Trotternish is very attractive. There are a number of carparks all along the driving route. Don't hesitate to stop your car and walk nearest the coast. You may discover some unbeaten postcard views (in good weather). The feel is very good. Listening to the sea, the bird's whisper... You would have a peace of mind. |
Description : Kilt Rock and Mealt Falls |
Description : Duntulm Castle is a broken castle. But the views around the castle is still great. There are some lovely sheeps around the Castle. |
Description : Afterwards we drove along the western coast of Trottenish. (During this car journey, we notice that there are quite a lot of Bed & Breakfast accommodation along the coast. Some of them should be very nice, with complete sea view in front of the houses. We don't know how to book these accommodations. But you can walk in and ask. Some of them will show a notice board outside the house, telling you whether they have any vacancy). We went back to Portree and enjoyed a very nice traditional Scottish musical show for our evening. |
