Isle of Skye Day Trip from Inverness

---

This day trip from Inverness takes you to the dramatic Isle of Skye, heading southwest by minivan to the rugged Scottish Highlands. Your first stop is Loch Ness, home to the legendary Loch Ness Monster. Stop for a break at Invermoriston and spot the Thomas Telford Bridge before continuing on through Glen Moriston and passing alongside the Five Sisters mountain range. Disembark at Eilean Donan Castle for a look at the sprawling ruins along the banks of Loch Duich. Upon reaching Kyle of Lochalsh, your vehicle crosses the Skye Bridge to the Isle of Skye, passing through Broadford as you make your way north. Next, cross over the bridge to Skye and head for Kyleakin, where there’s a stop for lunch. Your tour of this magical island takes in the stunningly beautiful sight of the Cuillin Hills on the road to Portree, the capital of Skye, and its colorful harbor. Enjoy sea views of the Isle of Rum before re-boarding the minivan for the return journey. Pass the village of Achnasheen, Black Isle, and the isle of Eilean Ban—home to British novelist Gavin Maxwell—arriving in Inverness in the evening.
