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.

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
