Isle of Skye and Eilean Donan Castle Day Trip from Inverness

Spend a day away from the hustle and bustle of the city on this tour to the Isle of Skye and Eilean Donan Castle from Inverness. You'll be guided by a local guide and get to know this spectacular area of Scotland in an activity that lasts around 12 hours for groups. A coach will transfer you there and back from Inverness, which is about three hours' drive from the island.

Skye is a stunning destination off the west coast of Scotland. The island is known for its stunning scenery and history. To learn a little more about this place, a visit to some of its most popular attractions is included in the tour, such as:

• Portree: this is a picturesque town considered to be the largest town on the Isle of Skye. It is known for its colourful buildings as well as its bustling harbour.
• Old Man of Storr: is an iconic rock formation that offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Also on this tour, you'll see Eilean Donan Castle, an impressive medieval building that sits on a small island at the point where three sea lochs meet.

The castle dates back to the 13th century, which was a stronghold of the Mackenzie and Macrae clan. It was destroyed in the 18th century during the Jacobite uprising and rebuilt in the early 20th century by John MacRae-Gilstrap, who restored it to its former glory. If you want to go inside, you can buy a ticket, which is not included in your booking, as you have free time to do so.
