5/5 - Excellent

Absolutely stunning place. Especially The Fairy Glen and Quairaing. Make sure to be prepared for driving single track roads responsibly (dodging cows and sheep).

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Beautiful but clearly the infrastructure can not cope with the volume of visitors.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

The circular walk at the back on Kinloch Lodge, to Leitir Fura is one of our favourite walks on Skye. For something that takes a little longer, a circular walk around Glenbrittle Forest...
