About Isle Of Skye

About the Isle of Skye

The Isle of Skye is connected to Scotland by a bridge, making it an easy place for people to visit if they want to explore one of the islands off the coast of northern Scotland. Skye is known for its rugged landscape, ancient castles, scenic villages, and interesting history. Most people visiting the island will base themselves in the town of Portree which is close to the mainland bridge and is home to a number of hotels, pubs, and restaurants.

Hire a car and visit the various sites on the island on your own or go on one of the many guided tours. In the evenings, make sure to spend time in one of the local pubs so you can hear the history of the island from one of the inhabitants. If you are looking for accommodation on the Isle of Skye, you can easily book your hotel on the Isle of Skye using the powerful Opodo search engine. You can customize your search results using a number of filter options including dates, number of rooms required, and the number of guests in your group so that you can find the best deal to suit your needs and preferences.

What to see on the Isle of Skye

One of your first stops on the Isle of Skye should be the Skye Museum of Island Life. The museum consists of a rebuilt township and a few crofters cottages showing what life was like on the island in the 18th and 19th centuries. This museum is particularly popular with those that have ancestors from the Isle of Skye. When you want to stretch your legs go on a hike to the legendary Fairy Pools. The scenery is stunning and you can take a swim in the very cold pools to cool off after your hike.

If you are a fan of whisky, take a tour of the Talisker Distillery, the oldest working distillery on the island. The guided tour will explain how whisky is made and includes a tasting at the end. Take a trip to Armadale Castle, which is the home of the Donald Clan and one of the most well-kept castles on the island. The castle includes a museum of Scottish clan history and you can learn about the Highland Clearances that resulted in mass migration from the Isle of Skye and many other parts of Scotland.

Where to stay on the Isle of Skye

The most popular place to stay is in the town of Portree, as this has the widest selection of hotels, pubs, shops, and restaurants. If you are travelling with young children Portee is the best place to stay as there are plenty of amenities and parks to keep them occupied. Those that enjoy a holiday that includes going out at night should stay in Portree and head out to pubs like the Saucy Mary, which is always popular with a young crowd of backpackers.

If you have a car and would like to be away from the main centre, you should stay in the spread out village of Broadford. There are still a number of hotels but you can't easily walk to attractions. Those that enjoy the peace and quiet and are looking for cheap hotels or hotel offers should look at staying in one of the small fishing villages such as Lochalsh and Elgol. Wherever you choose to book a hotel on the Isle of Skye make sure to book in advance as the island is very popular in the summer months and school holidays.
