17 Sail over to the Isle of Skye and the Cuillin Mountains

Part of the McLeod estate, the Cuillin mountain range in Skye is known as the Alps of the United Kingdom. Black Cuillin is just that, a dark charcoal color and Loch Coruisk is deep—one can only guess at its secrets. The Cuillin area is a Site of Special Scientific Interest where birds like the Golden Eagle receive protection. Camp at Glenbrittle and be as inspired as the artists and writers of yesteryear.
