The Isle of Skye, Mallaig and oban

Our first day takes us North by passing Stirling, Callander, over Rannock Moor to the romantic Isle of Skye which is our destination for the first part of this holiday. It is the largest of the Inner Hebrides with a magnificent coastline, Cuillin Mountains and abundant wildlife. Our hotel is The King’s Arms, a traditional hotel with spectacular views of the Skye Bridge, overlooking Loch Alsh and the Inner Sound situated at the village of Kyleakin. From here we can also see across to the mainland and close by the ruins of Castle Moil and Bright Water Otter Sanctuary.

During our stay we have a full day tour of the island visiting Portree then via Duntulm and Uig. We also have a tour to Dunvegan with an option to visit the Castle and Gardens. There will also be a free day or optional tour to the pretty village of Plockton.

The second part of our holiday takes us to Armadale for our sail to Mallaig on the mainland. Here there will be time to visit this quaint fishing port before continuing our journey over ‘The Road to The Isles’ via Fort William to Oban and the Columba Hotel for dinner and a stay of two nights. Our hotel is situated on the North Pier with views across to Kerrara Island and beyond to the Isle of Mull. Once again a free day to do as you choose maybe visit the museum, distillery or McCaigs Tower or take the ferry for a day visit to Mull. On our final day we leave our hotel and drive past Loch Awe to Inverary then the shores of Loch Long, through Arrochar to Loch Lomond. Our journey then takes us South, crossing the border back into England and on to our home areas.
