The Isle of Skye -- one of Scotland's most rugged, beautiful, and wild landscapes. We spent almost two weeks exploring this island by hiking trails, driving single track roads, sipping coffee, and generally getting lost amongst the grandeur of the scenery. From Old Man of Storr and to the Fairy Pools hikes, Birch Coffee in Portree to locally sourced yarn shop (Shilasdair), and Eilean Donan Castle and untouched hidden corners of the island, Isle of Skye holds charm, history, and incomparable beauty. Have a favorite place we missed during our time on the island? Let us know in the comments below!
