Starting in the small village of Torrin, after a short transfer from Broadford, this walk follows a clear path that hugs the dramatic coastline. As the path rises to follow the clifftops the views to the right of the Cuillin Ridge, towering above the expanse of open sea, are imposing and impressive. You will then pass deserted crofters communities long since burnt out by landowners, dramatic sweeping cliffs, sheltered beaches and tumbling waterfalls. As the path heads north again towards Broadford, you will ascend to a moorland plateau, through a protected forest reservation, past an abandoned marble quarry and back into Broadford - a small town full of cosy pubs and homely guesthouses.

Islands, Coastal Walking
The minimum age for this tour is: 16 Years
As all walks are self-guided, you will be responsible for navigation, decision making and safety during your trip. The walks are graded moderate. Some of the trails will be rough and potentially rather boggy underfoot, so you should be prepared for this. The longest walk is on day 6 although this can be shortened by public transport.
We carefully select small and friendly accommodation that offers great value, food and welcomes, 7 nights accommodation is included. these are mainly B&B’s or guesthouses and maybe one or two small hotels, of a 3-star standard. These are subject to availability and therefore alternatives of an equal standard may be offered.
Single Rooms
If you require single rooms within your party we would be happy to accommodate your request, although it is not generally possible to secure more than three single rooms in a party. A single supplement is payable. This tour is not available to solo walkers due to the remote nature of some of the walks.
Meals
Breakfast is included each morning while lunch and dinner are not included so you are free to choose from the available options. Your accommodation will be more than happy to provide a packed lunch on request and this can be booked on arrival, alternatively you can stop at local shops and occasional convenient lunch stops on the way (some walks may be very remote however). Dinner is available either at your accommodation or nearby pubs and restaurants.
The majority of the walks suggested on this trip are not waymarked and so you need to be able to navigate with a compass and map. We supply you with maps and route notes (along with digital maps and GPX tracks) in our free Macs Adventure smartphone app so you can easily find your way.

This trip is available between April and October. You can start this trip on any day of the week, but please note that some public transport services are limited on Sundays. We recommend checking all timetables and planning ahead to ensure a smooth jounrey. The Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh train on day 1 only runs once on Sundays, and the local Stagecoach bus on Skye from Portree to The Old Man of Storr does not operate on Sundays but local taxis can be used as an easy alternative.
The weather in Scotland is variable all year round, but generally speaking May and September are the driest months. In mid-late October the weather will begin to cool significantly, but with the appropriate clothing these make for pleasant walking temperatures. "Summer" temperatures on the island vary between around 10-22 degrees celsius, but even in the height of summer it's best to prepare for all seasons.
By Air: The closest airport to the start of this tour is Inverness. An airport shuttle bus operates regularly to the city centre (approx. 30 mins) or a taxi to Inverness train station is approx. 15 mins. Further information will be detailed in your pre-departure information pack.
By Train: Inverness has good rail links and you can travel by direct train from Glasgow (3h15) or Edinburgh (3h20) to Inverness.
Scottish Citylink also operates a bus service from Glasgow via Fort William to Broadford, or from Inverness via Loch Ness to Broadford.
By Air: Loganair operates from Stornoway to various airports in the UK and Europe.
By Ferry and Bus: Alternatively, you can take the Calmac ferry across The Minch to Ullapool (2h30), then connect to enjoy a scenic bus journey (1h20) back to Inverness.
The website www.travelinescotland.com is fantastic for researching train and bus timetables throughout Scotland. Your pre-departure information pack will also have handy hints and tips about journeys and transport services.
On Day 3 (Broadford to Portree) and Day 7 (Tarbert to Stornoway) your luggage will be transferred between accommodations. When travelling with public transport, you take your luggage with you. Please limit your baggage to one bag of up to 20kg per person.
At Macs Adventure, we work in partnership with many luggage transfer providers who set a limit on how many bags/suitcases they will transfer per person, and also the weight of the bag/suitcase. Your booking includes transfer of 1 bag per person. It is very important that you read the luggage information specific to your tour before departure. If you do not adhere to these limits, there is a great possibility that you will be charged locally both for extra bags or if they are too heavy. This limitation can be a challenge, especially as airlines generally have limits that are higher. However, our luggage providers have reasons for these limits (usually due to the Health and Safety of their employees), which we must respect.
Taxi Transfers
The Isle of Skye can get extremely busy over the peak summer months and there are only a few transfer companies available on the Island. At peak times, your taxi transfers as detailed in your itinerary may be shared with other Macs Adventure customers. This avoids long wait times in the morning and afternoons and ensures we are being as environmentally friendly as possible.
The distances and ascent/descents are approximations of the recommended routes. Please be prepared by packing all necessary items, for example, proper rain gear (jacket and pants), sun hat, sunscreen. Your information pack has a detailed equipment list which includes standard walking gear such as good walking boots or shoes, warm and waterproof clothes for the cooler months and lightweight clothing for summer, and a day pack.
Local Transport
Buses and local transportation are used for access to/from some walks, alongside our pre-arranged taxi transfers. On Skye there are limited services on Saturdays, and often no service on Sundays (so a taxi will be needed—we can arrange this for you at a supplement). We give you information regarding the latest timetables but you should always check locally regarding the most current information.
It is a requirement of booking this tour with Macs Adventure that you have suitable travel insurance which covers you for the activity and emergency evacuation and hospital care.
The walks are graded moderate. Some of the trails will be rough and potentially rather boggy underfoot, and you should be prepared for this. The longest walk is on Day 6 which is 15 miles (this can be shortened by public transport). You should have a good level of fitnesss and be able to confidentally navigate with a map and compass, to make the most of this tour.
We suggest you book as soon as your plans are finalised as the region is extremely popular especially the Isle of Skye over the summer months (June to September). The accommodations mentioned on our website are those that we normally use and are subject to availability at the time of booking, however we will always try and accommodate your plans. In the Outer Hebrides accommodation choice is limited, so the sooner you book up your trip the better.
You will need good walking shoes/boots (ideally waterproof), comfortable walking clothes, waterproof jacket and trousers, a daypack and hats/gloves etc. Our info packs have a list of all equipement to bring on your walk.
Traditionally May has always been the most popular time of year to travel in Scotland, because the theory goes that the weather is better and the midges have not yet appeared. Although having walked in every summer month we believe any time between late May and October offers a wonderful experience.
We operate between the months of April and October. On occasion during the booking season Skye can be affected by fog, wind, rain and cold but these conditions are usually reserved for the winter months.
Midges are small biting insects (much like north American gnats) which are prevalent in the summer months. They are particularly bad on still, overcast days but do not bother you if you are moving, the wind is blowing, sun is shining, it’s raining, or you are inside so as long as you carry repellent for the odd occasion you may need it they shouldn’t have any impact on your experience.
Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate walkers with dogs as many of the accommodation providers we use do not accept pets and several sections of the way are closed to dogs as they are permissive paths through farm land.
You can use public transport or local taxis to move you to the next overnight stop. Full details are included in your info pack.
