What to expect
Eilean Donan Castle is one of the most recognisable and stunningly beautiful castles in the world, featured in many famous movies including including Bonnie Prince Charlie (1948), The Master of Ballantree (1953), The New Avengers (1976), Highlander (1986), Loch Ness (1996), Entrapment (1999) and James Bond – The World is Not Enough (1999). Situated on a small island where three great sea lochs meet, this Scottish castle is surrounded by breathtaking views that seem too picturesque to be real. It's no wonder that it's become a must-see attraction for anyone visiting the area.

Take in the dramatic landscapes and stunning vistas of the area, from the magnificent Fairy Glen nearby to the famous Isle of Skye Brewery. Let our tour operators show you why Uig and the Fairy Glen are a must-see destination for any visitor to the Scottish Highlands.
Fairy Glen
The Fairy Glen is a fantastical destination, known for its mystical and whimsical charm. This miniature landscape on Skye boasts enchanting geological formations that make it a unique and captivating destination. Its reputation as a place of myth and wonder is well-deserved, and a visit to The Fairy Glen promises to be a truly magical experience. This small and magical feature of the Island, dotted with gnarled rowan trees, was formed over 100,000 years ago by post-Glacier landslides, while years of erosion and the elements sculpted the Torridonian sandstone into unusual patterns of cone-shaped craggy hillocks, random boulders, tranquil lochans and even a basalt castle.
Dunvegan Castle is a place steeped in both beauty and history. Home to Clan Macleod for over 600 years! The longest time period any single clan has occupied one castle. The castle also has it's own restaurant Macleod's Table Restaurant and shop nearby. Architecturally Dunvegan is a building of high importance, containing the work of at least ten building periods ranging from the 1200s to the 1850s. Dunvegan Castle today has a unified design with Victorian dummy pepper-pots and defensive battlements running the whole length of the roof line. This romantic restoration was carried out by the 25th Chief between 1840 and 1850 to the plans of Robert Brown of Edinburgh at a total cost of £8,000. Underneath this outer skin however, there remains a series of five separate buildings each with its own unique character and story to tell. Dunvegan also has wonderful and extensive gardens to visit aswell as astounding views of the minch waterway.
Kyleakin
At Kyleakin, we invite you to take a stop and breathe in the breathtaking view of the Skye Bridge. Take a quick bathroom break and join us in the hunt for the elusive groatie buckie. Legend has it that finding one of these cowrie shells brings good luck to the finder. Come and experience the magic of Kyleakin for yourself.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
