The northern end of Skye certainly gets a few tourists to its name but not nearly as much as the south of the island, which houses the popular Cuillin Hills, so for that reason, I opted to spend a week based in the small village of Staffin in the north, a wee bit quieter, you understand. |

| The first walk took me to the Old Man Of Storr, a giant crag, that can be seen for miles around. The path starts near the bus stop, about a half mile after Loch Leathan on the A855 and the walk is relatively easy and can be done up and down in just over 3hrs. |

Invertote WalkAnother easy low level walk starts at Invertote, again on the A855 , the route follows a dismantled railway for about 3 miles and ends at Loch Cuithir, which is overshadowed by the Trotternish Ridge. The whole return walk takes about 3hrs but you can add another hour for an easy ascent of the Ridge. |
|
Trotternish RidgeThe Trotternish Ridge can be accessed from various points. I chose a one day outing starting from the car park on the Uig road and walked about 4ml (5hrs return) to the summit of Beinn Edra (611),from where, on a clear day, the Scottish mainland ( Wester Ross and Torridon ) is visible. |
