Isle of Skye Candle Co. Visitor Centre

Highlight • Structure

The hike is really fun and the elevation profile is quite feasible - but overall, everything else is easy. At the beginning it goes through criss-cross deadwood, which requires a lot of climbing skills. Nothing for awkward hikers !!!

A short detour past the church and the hospital, turn left into the park. A nice, quiet place for a break.

Portree, Skye's capital is set around a bay sheltered by two capes; it is an important marina. From here you have a view of the harbor and the Quay Street with its colorful houses.

Colorful Houses of Portree Harbour

This rainbow row of eye-catching houses is an iconic sight often photographed from above at Bosville Terrace. They sit opposite the harbour on Quay Street and are all the home of businesses including a hotel and a restaurant.

A quiet paved farm track through expansive pastureland. Almost no traffic. A lovely alternative to the busy main roads to/from Portree.
