The Isle of Skye is located off the West Coast of mainland Scotland. It’s home to some of Scotland’s most iconic landscapes shaped by jagged mountain peaks, towering sea cliffs, and large stretches of greenery. It’s no wonder that tourists have been drawn here for centuries. In this video, we highlight 6 of the most beautiful natural places to visit on the Isle of Skye. 6. Sligachan Old Bridge The Sligachan Old Bridge is the first natural beauty you’ll encounter when crossing the Skye Bridge. Being so close to the mountains, the bridge offers majestic views. It was historically an important junction as it was part of the only road that crossed to the western end of the Isle. 😴 WHERE WE STAYED Kinloch Ainort Apartment (HIGHLY recommended!): https://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/kinloch-ainort.en.html?aid=7936148&no;_rooms=1&group;_adults=2 5. Fairy Pools The Fairy Pools are one of the most popular sights on the island. Here, multiple cascading waterfalls are connected by crystal clear pools against a backdrop of rocky mountains. As its name suggests, the scenery is truly fairy-tale-like. 4. Fairy Glen Fairy Glen is another enchanting place to visit on the Isle of Skye. With its miniature cone-shaped hills and rocky outcrops, it has been said that fairies created this landscape. 3. Quiraing Quiraing boasts some of the best natural views in all of Scotland! You can take in the landscapes by traversing its windy road and stopping at the viewpoint by the parking lot. But, for the full experience, we suggest going on a hike so you can see the jagged rock formations and waterfalls up close and get better views of the lakes below. 🥾 Quiraing Circuit Hike: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/scotland/highlands/the-quiraing-circuit?u=i 2. Kilt Rock & the Mealt Falls The cliffs here are absolutely awe-inspiring thanks to its basalt columns that are said to resemble a kilt. Add to that a waterfall that plummets 90 meters or 295 feet over the cliff into the icy sea below and you’ve got some spectacular nature. This is a 2-for-1 highlight and you can easily observe it from a viewing platform. Old Man of Storr A final must-see natural area on the Isle of Skye is the Old Man of Storr, the most photographed spot on the island. The Old Man of Storr is a magnificent pinnacle of rock that towers above the green landscape. To get up close, you need to do a 5 kilometers or 3 mile semi-loop hike, which takes between 1.5 to 2 hours to complete. But try to go early in the morning to avoid the crowds and secure a spot at the parking lot. 🥾 Old Man of Storr hiking trail: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/scotland/highlands/the-quiraing-circuit?u=ih 🎥 Scotland video: https://youtu.be/fd5oorHE3FY ☑️ Isle of Skye 3-Day Trip from Edinburgh: https://www.getyourguide.com/edinburgh-l44/isle-of-skye-the-highlands-loch-ness-t74136/?partner_id=57UJ5GF&utm;_medium=online_publisher&placement;=content-middle&cmp;=IsleOfSkye_video ☑️ Isle of Skye 5-Day Trip from Edinburgh: https://www.getyourguide.com/edinburgh-l44/isle-of-skye-loch-ness-inverness-steam-train-5-day-tour-t27843/?partner_id=57UJ5GF&utm;_medium=online_publisher&placement;=content-middle&cmp;=IsleOfSkye_video ☑️ Isle of Skye Day Trip from Inverness: https://www.getyourguide.com/edinburgh-l44/isle-of-skye-loch-ness-inverness-steam-train-5-day-tour-t27843/?partner_id=57UJ5GF&utm;_medium=online_publisher&placement;=content-middle&cmp;=IsleOfSkye_video ☑️ Isle of Skye Day Trip from Portree: https://www.getyourguide.com/portree-l90915/portree-best-of-skye-tour-t167618/?partner_id=57UJ5GF&utm;_medium=online_publisher&placement;=content-middle&cmp;=IsleOfSkye_video ✍️ GET TRAVEL PLANNER AT 50% OFF: https://worldwildhearts.hopp.to/travel-planner 💰 SAVE MONEY ON YOUR TRIP: - Book cheap flights: https://skyscanner.pxf.io/c/3559813/1027991/13416?associateid=AFF_TRA_19354_00001 - Book cheap accommodations: https://www.booking.com/index.html?aid=7936148 - Book cheap rental cars: https://rentalcars.tp.st/czR4KczE ⬇️ FREE DOWNLOAD: 100 Bucket List Destinations In The World: https://www.worldwildhearts.com/join ✅ SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/WorldWildHearts 😊 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: https://www.instagram.com/worldwildhearts/ ✏️ ISLE OF SKYE TRAVEL GUIDE: https://www.worldwildhearts.com/post/the-isle-of-skye 🎥 MORE UK VIDEOS: - London Best Things To Do: https://youtu.be/IR4gQ0yE6r0 - Edinburgh Best Things To Do: https://youtu.be/zXDXBkc7CJ8 - Scotland: 10 Must-Visit Places: https://youtu.be/fd5oorHE3FY - Inverness Best Things To Do: https://youtu.be/IRFvdM1r70Y 🎵 MUSIC CREDITS: The Isle Of Skye by Ian Post Rejoice In The Morning by The David Roy Collective The Motions stripped version by Diffie Bosman Belonging by Muted 🎥 VIDEO CHAPTERS: 0:00 Intro 1:15 Sligachan Old Bridge 1:56 Fairy Pools 2:48 Fairy Glen 3:45 Quiraing 4:51 Kilt Rock and Mealt Falls 5:52 Old Man of Storr 7:06 Eilean Donan Castle 7:52 Isle Of Skye Tips #isleofskye #scotland #isleofskye2023
