Enjoy a guided tour of the castle to learn about its rich history dating back to the 13th century. Explore the restored castle rooms and enjoy the exhibitions that tell tales of its past inhabitants and its importance in Scottish history. Admission into the castle is available at an additional cost.

Spend some time wandering through the town’s quaint streets, visit local shops for unique crafts, and enjoy a meal at one of the seafood restaurants, where you can taste freshly caught fish from the surrounding waters.

  • Trotternish Ridge - Conclude your tour at the Trotternish Peninsula, an area of Skye noted for its stunning and unique geological features like the Old Man of Storr, the Quiraing, and the Kilt Rock.
