The Skye Trail is a challenging unofficial route through the island which is specifically aimed at experienced hillwalkers. The route follows much of the amazing Trotternish Ridge and passes beneath the peaks and pinnacles of the Cuillin, which are considered to be the finest mountains in Britain. There are also remarkable coastal cliffs, steep trails, high drops and haunting ruins of deserted villages destroyed in the highland clearances. You have various choices of different routes through tough terrain or easier walking with spectacular mountain views and coastal scenery.
