Cafes, shops and seafood restaurants are in good supply, making days spent meandering through the streets a joy.
2. Hike the Storr trail
Arguably the most iconic sight on Skye is The Old Man of Storr. You can see the famous basalt rock from viewing points along the A855, but the best views can be found while hiking. The hike uses the same path there and back and takes up to 2 hours.
