The third stage of the Skye Trail long distance route, takes a short section of road to an unpromising start across rough moorland at the coast. This soon leads to a fabulous parade along the top of dramatic coastal cliffs with superb views. The stage ends in Portree where there is a hostel, campsite, B&Bs and hotels, restaurants, shops, ATM and post office.

Terrain

Pathless, boggy and rough for the first 3km after leaving the road; excellent but pathless cliff-top walking follows but with some steep ground.

Public Transport

Bus from Portree - get off near Storr car park.

Start

Storr car park on the left side of the A855 heading from Portree towards Staffin. Open start point in Google Maps for directions.
