There is hardly a single crag, corrie, glade or stream on the Isle of Skye that does not have a fascinating legend, myth or historical account that stretches back into the mists of time. Until a few short years ago, history, legends, sayings and customs were passed down by word of mouth from one generation to the next, therefore preserving Skye’s precious heritage.

Eilean a Cheo, the Island of Mist, or to some the Isle of Enchantment, is among the most remarkable islands in the world. Who has not heard the ‘Skye Boat Song’ and who having heard it has not felt the desire to come ‘over the sea to Skye’. With it’s Viking history and Celtic culture interwoven through time, this fascinating island boasts outstanding mountain and coastal scenery, pitched against a backdrop of a rich and turbulent history stretching back 1500 years.

Along the way we get an insight into island life and the unique culture, language and customs that make Skye such a wonderful and compelling place to visit. The Islanders are proud of their culture and we get a sense of how during the long dark winter nights families and friends would be gathered around the peat fire, their entertainment being found in the stories, songs and poetry which made the islands of Scotland famous throughout the world.

Our three centre exploration offers a wide variety of excellent hiking and the opportunity to relax in some of Skye's most comfortable accommodation.
