An assortment of spectacular

#myhiddengems A trip to the isle of skye has many things in it. From medieval castles, picturesque village, jagged mountains to a distillery and bridges. It has garnered a reputation ove the years and that is why it features on many must do lists when visiting scotland. A country that already features on my top 3 accents of the world list. Irrespective of the weather or if you are doing it on a day or two of organised tours. The sights are going to be spectacular. Also for the nature and outdoor enthusiasts there are some very nice hiking opportunities here. Atleast the ones I managed to do, the likes of Quirang and Old man of the storr. were absolutely rewarding with views and surprisingly also a decent amount of wild life. More famously the funny/cute looking hairy coos, the sea eagles and red deer. For those with a strong visual memory will also realise or have that feeling of seen it somewhere. The thing being that this place has been a filming site for many epic movies in the last few decades. And it makes sense as they fit the setting of those movies. Moving on, the magical fairy Glen can be found on the West side of Trotternish at Balnacnoc, Uig. One of Skye’s most famous attractions, are the Fairy Pools. They are a series of pools with crystal clear water. Surrounded by the Cuillin Mountains by Glenbrittle, this stunning spot is definitely worth visiting. A personal favourite of mine is the Neiste point. Probably the best spot for sunset or even dolphin watching as some people pointed out when I was there. Then there are several more points of interest depending on how much time you have. You could always end your day by relaxing over drinks in a nice and quirky Scottish pub. Their music is so fun.#myhiddengems #scotland #isleofskye #100waysoftravel #summerdestinations #beautiful #solotrip #explorer
