Islay of Skye ist ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel für Wanderer und Bergsteiger. Der Skye Trail ist eine 5-7 tägige, absolut grandiose Tour, durch das schottische Hochland. Die Route folgt dem Trotternish Ridge, vorbei am Quiraing sowie den Küstenklippen auf der Islay of Skye. Eine mittlere, schöne, aussichtsreiche und meistens auch nebelige Wanderung erwartet euch in Islay of Skye. Ich fand die Tour grandios. Chapeau!
