Long before all the warring clans of old, Skye was part of some of the most remarkable geological changes in the history of the planet. The amazing scenery you’ll see on your tour is the result of millions of years of land being raised above the ocean, flooded, pulled together and ripped apart, and completely remade by immense lava flows and volcanic eruption, followed by ice sheets further shaping everything they covered.

The Sleat Peninsula hosts the ruins of a MacDonald stronghold known as Armadale Castle, where the clan lived through the 18th century.

Armadale Castle sits far out on the Sleat Peninsula. This narrow piece of land is sometimes called “The Garden of Skye” thanks to its fertile land.

If you want to walk to Leitir Fura, turn left onto the side road ahead, following signs for Kinloch Forest and Leitir Fura Road. This access road ends in the public parking area after about a mile.

The navigable sounds and sea lochs made the Hebrides an attractive spot for Norse adventurers in the 8th century, with the first Viking raid on Skye recorded in 794.

Dunscaith Castle is the original seat of the MacDonalds of Sleat. Dunscaith has been fortified, destroyed, rebuilt, captured, and re-captured so many times over the centuries that its origins are lost to the mists of history.

This castle is now in ruins and part of the fairytale-like scenery on Skye. We will be able to see the castle up ahead on our left. Look for a brown sign for Torabhaig Distillery on our left. If you look out past the distillery, you can see a stone tower perched on a hill, overlooking the sea.

We’re also approaching the optional side trip to the coastal village of Elgol, which is about 40 minutes away from Broadford on a rather narrow road. Elgol is a popular spot to take a boat tour through the glacial lochs and visit the seal colonies.

Elgol is a seaside village that has been thriving since the middle ages. The village is perfectly situated for fishing and crofting, and grew where Allt Port na Cullaidh flows into Loch Scavaig.

Boreraig offers a hauntingly scenic hike through the abandoned village. The hike begins up ahead at the Church of Kilchrist and covers a little over 6 miles round-trip.

This area is famous for its marble and limestone quarries. As we drive, we’ll see the marble quarry ahead on our left. It looks like a line of silver-white stone jutting up over the farmland.

Even though Blà Bheinn is closer to the Red Cuillins range, it’s composed of the same igneous rock - called gabbro- that forms the Black Cuillins range to the west, so many geologists theorize that it’s actually an outlier of that range.
