Views of Portree harbour

Your journey to the Isle of Skye is a private experience designed entirely around you. Travelling in comfort with your own guide, the day can be shaped to match your interests and pace. The itinerary remains flexible so you can spend more time at the places that capture your imagination. The Isle of Skye is celebrated for its dramatic beauty, but it is also an island steeped in legend. As we travel through its glens, coastlines and mountains, I bring the landscape to life through stories that have echoed here for centuries. Many come from Gaelic and Norse traditions, telling of giants and ghosts, water horses and kelpies, saints and sinners, and the mysterious world of fairies and witches. More than a sightseeing tour, this is a journey into the spirit of Skye. My aim is to be your storyteller and guide, sharing not only the island’s remarkable places but also the legends, history and culture that make it unforgettable.
