Best Isle Of Skye Day Trips & Things to Do

This Scottish island has been inhabited since the Mesolithic period. Once dominated by Clan MacLeod and Clan Donald, there are remnants of both on the island, including two main castles with extensive grounds and gardens. Tour Skyeskyns, the only sheepskin tannery in Scotland; find unique, handcrafted gifts in town; or taste single malt at Talisker distillery. Rich in culture, about one-third of the island’s residents still speak Gaelic today.
