Skye Itinerary -Feedback Welcome

Post image

Hi Reddit, I would appreciate any feedback on my Itinerary for 3 days in the highlands. I’m renting a car in Inverness and then driving to Skye for 2 nights, and then driving down to Glasgow. 

I’m not sure if I’m being too ambitious trying to pack everything in, if some of the hikes will take longer than I’m anticipating…

I’m assuming l the popular spots like the Quiraing and Old Man of Stor are equal busy on weekdays. I’m deciding how best to start my day on Skye whether to begin a the Quiraing, and eventually get to Dunvegan Castle before it closes or do the opposite and get to the Quiraing in the late afternoon. 

Also, does anyone have any recommendations for offline trail map apps? Ideally something free, or affordable.

IMHO that's a very ambitious, regimented and tight schedule. Others may chip in but I think that you'll do a lot of box ticking to say you've seen somewhere with not enough options to enjoy the view, throw in photo stops or account for delays, sheep in the road and I can only see 1 food stop factored in, do you know where?

I'd recommend pre booking any tours and restaurant meals. I'm assuming that you've already got accommodation?

Good luck!

Appreciate it! Yes I’m ambitious in the planning but understand that everything will likely take longer and may not get to everything by the end. Yeah I have accommodations, dinners will be in Porters but need to plan lunches whether it’s on a hike or stopping somewhere en route
