This remote land in UK is nothing like you’d have imagined UK

#2024mapped Skye is not an easy travel destination: it could take a good 6hour drive from Glasgow to reach the furthest part of Skye (Neist Point), and the driveway could be one-lane a lot of the times. But it’s more than worth it—and even more so if you have a drone (I don’t, but I can tell only a drone could do the natural landscape here justice). Since it’s not the most traveled destination, it took me some while to know where to go. Here’s some of my recommendation: 1) Sligachan Old Bridge - located almost in the gateway of Skye, so everyone would have pass through Sligachan before heading onto other parts of Skye, but the view is golden m 2) Elgol Beach - one has to make detour (1hr one-way) to come to this place, but I had no regret to have chosen to come here. The beach has unique background, and the views along the way as we drove was rewarding too 3) Neist Point - gorgeous cliff, but it’s located almost at the northwestern end of Skye. It’s almost pitch dark at night, so plan ahead as to what time to start heading back to town—if your accommodation is one of the cottages in this neighborhood, do bring in your own food (or prebook a restaurant coz NOT A SINGLE restaurant do walk-in dinner here) 4) Fairy Glen - the mysterious circle which many people come for was a complete letdown, but the entire place has plenty of good views, being a well-covered “plains” with rivers, lakes and small hills. 5) Old Man of Storr - the views is great at some point but the hike is a tad long (at least 2 hours two-way), so be mentally prepared 6) Quirirang - pretty but the wind was like dangerously strong at a lot of viewpoints (I guess it had something to do with the geographical structure/location of the place), so it could be very challenging to take good photos 7) Brothers Point 8) An Leth-allt View Point Overall, there are still so many more places I have yet explored since I had only two days here. My sister who have spent 10years working and travelling around monthly in New Zealand said that Skye looks quite like New Zealand. So I’d recommend those who have the luxury of time to do road trips in UK venture into Skye
