Your day begins with a peaceful walk through the woodland trails of Rogie Falls, where a suspension bridge offers sweeping views over the Black Water. In late summer, you may catch the thrilling sight of salmon leaping upstream. From here, the journey continues towards the coast, with wide-open views across Loch Carron setting the scene for what’s to come.
Cross the Skye Bridge onto the legendary Isle of Skye, pausing in Broadford before visiting the Fairy Pools. This magical river trail winds through a rocky glen beneath the Cuillin Mountains, where crystal-clear pools and tumbling waterfalls create a truly enchanting landscape.
Next, head to Dunvegan for the option to visit its historic castle - home to the Clan MacLeod for over 800 years. Inside, discover treasures like the famed Fairy Flag and Bonnie Prince Charlie’s waistcoat, or simply enjoy the lochside scenery before lunch in the village.
Your route continues through Skye to colourful Portree, the island’s lively capital, with its postcard-perfect harbour. A final stop at Sligachan offers striking views of the Cuillin Hills before heading back to the mainland.
On the way back to Inverness, enjoy photo opportunities at Eilean Donan Castle and Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness.
