Results for Isle of Skye Nature
I travelled to the wonderful Isle of Skye in Scotland, visiting the Loch Ness and Inverness on the way, on a budget and without a car: pretty challenging but definitely doable if well optimised !
This is the general program, tried and true;
- Day 1️⃣: stop at a castle on the famous Loch Ness and maybe spot Nessie !
- Day 2️⃣: a full day on the Isle of Skye, staying in Portree, with an adventure to the Old Man of Storr
- Day 3️⃣: visiting Inverness on the way back
This guide will also include:
- how to go to the Isle of Skye, travelling from the south of Scotland (Edinburgh, Glasgow or Dundee) by bus
- a place to stay at (which I personally tried) and other possible recommandations, and places to eat
- made for students/travellers on a budget (around £170/person, and way less if you are under 22 and live in Scotland)
- an interactive map with all the locations attached.
Enjoy this guide with my own photos as illustrations !

Scotland - the land of iconic views, food, and a FANTASTIC campervanning destination. We campervanned here for two weeks with this itinerary and had such an amazing experience. This guide covers 14 days and a whole lot of campervanning - get ready for a roadtrip! It covers the following destinations:
- Glencoe
- Isle of Skye
- NC500
- The Cairngorms
- Aberdeen
- Edinburgh
- Glasgow
& MANY destinations and things to do in between these major stops.
For some places it includes restaurants (but not all, as it's a campervanning itinerary so you'll likely be cooking most of your meals), lots of adventure (hikes, views, and activities), where to stay (parking your campervan is SO easy in Scotland we've included where to look for camping spots and also included campervan sites to hook up to for each spot), and inside intel on what you should know before you visit.
This itinerary is for the adventurous and people who want to get BUSY during their time here to see as much as possible. It includes quite a bit of driving and lots of activities. Whilst this itinerary is jam-packed, you can easily choose what you want from each day to give you more downtime, and spread some of the activities over multiple days to cut down on your driving time - it's very easily manipulated to suit your needs.

The North Coast 500 is the magical route around the Highlands of Scotland.
This journey begins in Inverness, known as the gateway to the Highlands. We will drive to the West coast of Scotland, with the opportunity to include the Isle of Skye if you have some extra time. Then, we drive clockwise along the coast, taking in waterfalls, lochs, beaches, and the rolling hills of Scotland.
While driving the NC500, you will see the highlights of the route, with many opportunities for hikes, walks along the beach, and castles. As you drive you will be presented with scenic vistas of the rugged Scottish Highlands, whose views are known worldwide and are the real reason this route is so popular. You are encouraged to stop often at scenic points along the way to fully appreciate your surroundings.
This guide will include a full itinerary for an 11 day trip. It can be cut down to 9 days if you remove the Isle of Skye. If you don't do all the activities, you could potentially cut down some more time, but I have tried to limit driving to under 3 hours a day. This guide also includes suggestions on where to stay and where to eat dinner for each night of the trip.
Estimated budget of this trip based on 2 people sharing a room:
Accommodation (usually including a full breakfast) at an average £130 a night = £1,300
Dinner at an average £40 pp = £800
Car rental c. £40 per day = £440
Fuel for c. 830 miles at 148.5p = £1,235
Other (entry prices, parking) = £200
Total = £3,975
The food budget in particular in subject to where you go and what you order. This also doesn't include prices for lunch. Accommodation prices could also be reduced by staying in hostels rather than hotels/ B&Bs. Car rental prices were found on Kayak comparable site - these are variable.

Welcome to the Isle of Skye! Portree is a central stop to access all the beauty and nature. I have a few hotels suggestions. Make sure you're lodging has breakfast because there are few breakfast selections. Parking is an issue! Make sure you read all the signs and park in the appropriate locations. To see all the famous sightseeing attractions, there are two loops you can drive and see all the beautiful natural scenery. You will probably want at least two days here to see all the amazing sights. I've also suggested a lovely selection of restaurants and more casual pubs. Make sure you make reservations especially in the summertime.

Edinburgh's appeal leaves nobody aside. I reached Edinburgh to seek peace from my break-up!.. Whilst I was greeted by gloomy weather like my life at that point, the sun and people finally came out and showed me a good time. (yay)
...Regardless of the weather, this city is quite stunning and takes you back in time by making you feel like moving here to Dean's Village, Oh my what a little quaint pretty place or into the sets of one of those historic UK crime-thriller shows!

🏴The Self Guided Road Trip of Your Dreams: 3 Night Journey to Isle of Skye
Embark on the road trip of a lifetime through the enchanting, winding roads of the Highlands to the Isle of Skye. This breath taking drive will unlock all the natural wonders of the Highlands, into the Isle, and beyond!
This is truly one of the most beautiful road trips I have ever been on, one that is sure to leave you at peace and in awe of the stunning Scottish countryside!
What this guide provides:
🚗 An in depth 3 night, 4 day roundtrip journey to the Isle of Skye starting and ending in Glasgow
🍽️ Great eats & drinks along the road trip to get to know the Highlands and the Isle in a very special way
🏨 Amazing accommodation recommendations
✨ Inside scoops to all my favorite places and memories made along the way
I would recommend renting a car for this guide as you will be able to move more freely than on a scheduled guided tour. The Highlands and the Isle of Skye are locations that you will want to indulge in hiking and taking your time with the amazing scenery. Be sure to pack all the necessary gear to be able to hike in potentially wet or cold settings. You will not be able to enjoy yourself if you are not properly dressed for the brisk Scottish cold.
