Our North Skye Tour focuses on the spectacular Trotternish peninsula, which includes all the high points of the Storr, Quirang and Kilt Rock, but differs from the Best of Skye Tour by building in time to climb the Old Man of Storr and for stops to discover Skye's dinosaur footprints, museums and castles.

• We start in Portree and head north to the Old Man of Storr.  The climb is steep but well worth the effort!  If you don't want to do the climb let your guide know and he can modify the tour. 
• Then we visit Kilt Rock and Mealt Waterfall, with its dramatic clifftop views of the columns and layers of basalt rock which famously look like the folds and tartan pattern of a kilt.
• Next we visit An Corran Beach at Staffin to find the dinosaur footprints.  This is tide dependent. We may try and see other footprints instead at Score Bay, Duntulm later in the day, again dependent on the tide times.
• Then we stop in at the Dinosaur Museum to see the world-renowned collection of fossils and neolithic artifacts from across Skye.
• After a short drive we arrive at the Museum of Island Life, a settlement of thatched Black Houses, with exhibits and which give an insight to how islanders lived hundreds of years ago.
• Then it’s off to the charming fishing village of Uig and the stunning Fairy Glen to explore its magical miniature glens and conical mounds
• We return to Portree via the Quirang viewpoint, a spectacular landscape of pinnacles and rock formations.
