Five Days on Skye
In this article (13,000 words, 29 photographs) we discuss our five days on Skye. We present a day-to-day account of our sightseeing activities; discuss the key attractions we visited; and provide our impressions, key facts, selected photos, and relevant references. We also discuss how we would plan our holiday if we could do it all again.
With our daily driving excursions we visited the Trotternish, Waternish, Duirinish and Sleat peninsulas. The weather was exceptional for our time on Skye which added a rich dimension to our sightseeing.
Key attractions included the Skye Museum of Island Life, The Old Man of Storr, Uig, Colbost Croft Museum, Kilt Rock and Waterfall, Shilasdair Yarn Company, and Armadale ferry pier. Just being able to drive to new destinations each day and observe the unique Skye landscape was a rare experience.
Crofting was a theme for us and hence we visited the Museum of Island Life near Kilmuir and the Colbost Crofting/Folk Museum. We present a short account of crofting including references for further reading in an appendix of the eBook.
We rented a well-appointed self-catering crofter’s cottage in Broadford as a base for the five days. As the second largest township on Skye, Broadford provided access to all the supplies we needed, as well as a selection of good restaurants. Broadford is a lower key township than Portree which we appreciated.
The Isle of Skye has a well-deserved reputation as a very good travel destination. We think you would enjoy it.
