The Isle of Skye is larger than many people think, with an area of 640 square miles, Skye is the second largest island in Scotland and home to some of Britain’s largest mountains towering over 3000 feet above sea level. Lying off the North West coast of Scotland, Skye generally has a milder climate due to the Gulf Stream flowing from warmer waters.If you walk, drive or climb, Skye has an abundance of interests on offer, beautiful coastal walks, bird watching and wildlife. Hill walking and mountains to climb. Galleries to visit, local crafts and museums, plus glorious views at almost every turn.
Many folk who come to Skye for a week return time and time again enjoying the changing seasons; the colours of Skye change constantly with the purple heather, yellow gorse and wonderfully clear air that smells so fresh. Quiet roads without traffic jams help make a peaceful and enjoyable holiday.
The Isle of Skye has a toll free bridge joining it to the mainland allowing easy access by road. If you prefer there are two ferries, one from Mallaig to Armadale and the other from Glenelg to Kylerhea. If you are flying, Inverness has a good airport with several car hire companies, and one of Britain’s prettiest train lines connect Inverness to Kyle, right by the Skye Bridge.
Teeny’s Cottage, a completely refurbished four-star self-catering cottage, is ideally located as a comfortable base for exploring the Isle of Skye, but wherever you stay, book early as the Isle of Skye is a very popular destination with late availability hard to find.
Have a holiday with a difference, enjoy beautiful scenery, peace and quiet and the freshest air; you won’t be disappointed.
