Your Skye adventure awaits
Many visitors to Edinburgh discover too late that the magical Isle of Skye feels 'so near yet so far away'. With accommodation often booked months in advance, last-minute trips seem impossible. That's why we created the Skye Speed Tour. You'll depart Edinburgh early, arriving on Skye for breakfast after viewing incredible scenery, including the iconic 3 Bridges at South Queensferry. We may even visit Eilean Donan Castle and the delightful village of Plockton with its hidden Coral Beach en route. Spend a full day exploring Skye's best-known sights before returning to Edinburgh by evening, filled with a lifetime of memories.
