Skye touches anyone's heart that has spent any time here, with its alpine style ridges, sharp pinnacles, exposure and committing days out it provides a majestic natural playground for climbing and scrambling. With the rough basalt rock, it's a delight to scramble on, providing confidence underfoot once some coaching has been applied. After a great day in the mountains, the island also does some fantastic ales!
