Later on in the season, the Magic Mountain festival takes place in February and is an amazing event bringing together adventurous souls in a weekend of talks, workshops, music, food and climbing.

Several roads on Skye are designed as single-track lanes, accommodating only one vehicle at a time. These roads feature designated passing areas and there are a few rules on how to use them safely.

These forgotten relics, hidden in mist and heather, hold untold stories of centuries past. Searching for lesser-known ruins and castles is a great way to explore the island and uncover some of Skye’s ancient stories.
