What To Expect
Urquhart Castle
Our first stop on the way to Skye will be Urquhart Castle. The ruins sit perched on the banks of Loch Ness. Our guide will tell you about the history of the castle, and the folklore and legends about the loch and our most famous beast, Nessie as we look down from a viewpoint above.
Glenmoriston
The Glenmoriston Footprints are a lessor known, but important site, when it comes to Highland history and legend! Finlay Munro preached from a spot in Glenmoriston in 1827 and left two footprints. No blades of grass have on the spot since!

5.00We booked this private tour at the last minute. But the tour guide Finella contacted us quickly, and it only took us a few minutes to finalise the departure time, place and itinerary. What we booked is a one-day trip from inverness to Skye Island and back，which is a long way to drive. Fortunately, the weather was very good on the day of the trip. We went from the castle on the shores of Loch ness to various scenic spots on Sky Island, and the weather was good all the way. Finella took us to the An-corran beach full of dinosaur footprints, which is not easy for the bus tour group to reach, and the Quiraing viewing point overlooking half of Skye Island, and the magical "Apostolic Footprints" on the last way back, which are all memorable and wonderful journeys that must be tried in your life！ Although the journey is mainly to enjoy the natural scenery, Finella, as a local, highlander , is very proficient in humanities, history, geography and even the development of religion, language and population in the highland areas, which makes the whole journey even more special. Finally, she also gave a lot of suggestions for our dinner arrangements and the next day's itinerary. If you have limited time, I think private tour is the only way to enjoy the essence of skye Island in the shortest time. I will definitely recommend this to you.
