In-Depth Information
BUTCHER, SKYE
Highlights
1 Skye Cuillin Countless lochans, eleven
Munros, one challenging 12km ridge trail -
and the mountains are almost as impressive
seen on the road to Glenbrittle as up on the trail.
See p.275
2 Loch Coruisk Few sights in Scotland prepare
you for the drama of this glacial loch in the
Cuillin - the boat ride there from Elgol just adds
to the fun. See p.275
3 Trotternish Take a walk into the bizarre,
Tolkeinesque landscapes of the Quiraing or say
hello to the Old Man; this peninsula has some of
Skye's most distinctive scenery. See p.282
4 Food on Skye Whether in a flagship
restaurant like Three Chimneys (p.279), the lovely
Glenview (p.284) or just an arty wee café such
as the Red Roof Gallery (p.279), you'll eat well
on Skye.
5 Kinloch Castle, Isle of Rùm Visit this
frankly bonkers Edwardian pile to discover the
decadence of the contemporary landed gentry.
See p.287
6 Isle of Eigg Sample off-grid island living in
the most vibrant of the Small Isles, with sandy
beaches, an easy climb and peace everywhere.
See p.288
HIGHLIGHTS ARE MARKED ON THE MAP ON P.272
