A Scenic Drive Through Scotland's Isle of Skye
The Isle of Skye is one of Scotland’s most popular destinations, and for good reason. On my road trip through Scotland, this was without a doubt my favorite stop and one I’ll absolutely be returning to in the future. The Isle of Skye offers dramatic coastlines, cute towns with great food, awesome hiking trails and endless views. While a one-or two-day stay on the Isle of Skye is absolutely possible, I recommend spending three days to really see all that it has to offer at a comfortable pace. And while bus tours are widely available, I recommend renting a car, which will allow you to travel on your own time and to get to some less-populated areas.
