Central Skye: A Local's Guide To The Isle of Skye
Central Skye covers a lot of ground - and many of the places people come to Skye to experience. The Cuillin, Fairy Pools, Portree and Talisker are all here, alongside quieter corners like Sconser, Raasay and the west coast around Carbost and Glen Brittle. It’s a brilliant part of the island to explore, whether you’re heading into the hills, looking for somewhere good to eat or simply following the road to see where you end up.
