Things To Do in Isle of Skye
Whilst PictureTheUK is aimed, clearly, at the UK, the team behind this website have travelled extensively around the world. In our opinion, the Isle of Skye is one of the finest holiday destinations you'll find. From its mountains to its coast, its history to its wildlife, time spent here is unforgettable. If you can stay in Elgol, the views are outstanding.
