The was our first visit to Skye, we were really lucky with the weather, six days of blue skies and warm sunshine. We didn't do as much walking as we would have normally do, but we decided that the island was so lovely we needed to explore it as much as possible. This would allow us to be better prepared for future visits, which I hope there will be many more. You will find below the details of the walks that we did during the week, however, on days were we did a number of smaller walks I've created a gallery page for those days, I thought it would be more practical that way.
