Skye's rich history and cultural heritage is as awe-inspiring as its landscape. Occupied over centuries by Celtic tribes, Scandinavian Vikings, and the powerful clans of MacLeod and MacDonald, the island was even at one point under Norwegian control. Historical events, such as the Jacobite risings and the agricultural clearances of the 18th century, significantly shaped the island's population and industry.

Today, Skye presents amiable communities thriving on tourism, agriculture, and fishing. Portree, the island's vibrant capital, enchanted with its charming harbour, offers a glimpse of Skye's traditional lifestyles.

Mesmerising natural sights such as the Cuillin hills, Red Hills, Trotternish Peninsula, Quiraing and the Old Man of Storr allow you to step into the island's geographic narrative, while archaeological sites dating back to the Mesolithic period immerse you in the oldest layers of its history. The island's cultural heritage carries a mixture of Norse and Celtic influences, notable in festivals, arts and songs.

When to visit Isle Of Skye

Skye's climate is refreshingly mild and invigoratingly windy, offering an enticing invitation to explorers, whichever the season.
