“Make your first pictures even before crossing the Skye Bridge and stop at the famous Eilean Donan Castle. As one of the most iconic places of Scotland, is recognised all around the world. Walk over the old stone bridge to the castle at the point where three great sea lochs meet and enjoy the beautiful views of the majestic scenery. ”

“Visit the historic moorland which ended the Jacobite cause in Scotland. There is a very informative visitor centre which has the option of audio tours of the battlefield.”

“You get a cracking view all the way out to Skye (on a clear day) from the car park. With a cafe, walks and views, well worth a trip. For the more adventurous, take the 1 hour walk up the mountain to Cairngorm Summit. As a qualfied mountain guide, Heather advises that you have the appropriate footwear, clothing, map, compass and health and experience to undertake this trip. Watch the weather and look at the Mountain Weather Information Service. it is 1300 metres afterall and like the Artic!”

“A large wildlife park specialising in wildlife that is native to Scotland, as well as other cold-weather creatures. It is around an hour's journey to the wildlife park, but is well worth the visit. Ideal for animal lovers & people with children.”
