SCOTLAND · ISLE OF SKYE
In September, I lost track of time wandering among fairy pools and rugged cliffs.

The air is cool with a hint of salt as I step off the ferry at Armadale. The promise of adventure hangs in the untouched landscape, just waiting for me. It’s a Saturday morning, and the coffee shop, offering a flat white for £2.50, is alive with the laughter of locals and visitors alike.
Driving along the winding roads, the rugged mountains loom over me like ancient guardians. The sight of the black cliffs of the Cuillin Ridge draws me in. I can’t help but stop at several viewpoints. Every turn offers a new perspective, and I’m already captivated by Skye’s vibrant beauty.
Three unhurried days, roughly in the order I walked them.
The Isle of Skye is a canvas, painted with nature's finest strokes—every view surprises.
When in Skye, don’t miss trying Cullen skink, a hearty soup made from smoked haddock. You can savor it at the Old School Restaurant in Dunvegan for about £8. It’s both comforting and filling.
Also, check out Portree’s fish and chips at The Chippy—£6 for a generous portion. The crunchy batter and fresh catch make it worth every bite, with a lovely view of the harbor to enjoy alongside.
