Sligachan Old Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The old bridge was built between 1810 and 1818. There are some beautiful myths surrounding them, such as that dipping one's face into the River Sligachan at the bridge bestows eternal beauty ("The enchanted waters under the Sligachan Bridge"). You really have to dip your face, not wet your face with your hands, and then not dry your face either.

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 !!!
