🌈Seeing many people share how beautiful the Isle of Skye is, I really wanted to go! Giving a shoutout to the Isle of Skye because it's truly beautiful! 💯Studying in the UK, you really should visit at least once! It's free, wild, and primitive, and you don't need to interact with humans, haha, with its main attractions being the natural landscapes and fewer people. 💗 - 🇬🇧My Isle of Skye three-day tour itinerary 😍Day1: Luss Village - Loch Lomond - Glencoe Valley - The Three Sisters - Fort William - Ben Nevis - Glenfinnan Viaduct (Harry Potter steam train filming location) 😍Day2: Portree Village - The Old Man of Storr - Kilt Rock - Lealt Falls - Eilean Donan Castle - Loch Ness 😍Day3: Scottish Highlands National Park - Salmon Town - St Andrews - Forth Bridge - 🚂Attractions guide 1️⃣Loch Ness: Located in the great canyon in the northern Highlands, the lake is 37km long and is famous for the Loch Ness Monster legend~ 2️⃣Eilean Donan Castle: One of the world's famous castles, originally used to defend against the Vikings, the castle is situated on a small island in the lake 3️⃣Portree: A charming little town on the Isle of Skye, nestled by a tranquil bay.

(Each place has a 15-20 minute stop, with longer stops at major attractions. Departing at 8:30 am and returning to the accommodation by 6:30 pm, with pick-up and drop-off, which is very convenient) The most memorable part was that the driver also took us to touch the Highland cows, which were super cute. 💗

Address - Tom-na-Faire, Station Square, Fort William PH33 6TQ, United Kingdom (Located just beside Fort William Station) Highlights - Shopping street. Good place for people who are looking for a place to stay. Mountain scenic. Rating - 5/5 Dropping by Fort William? This should be one of the spot that you should visit, as I would say everything that you are looking for, you will be able to find it. My friends and I walked around Fort William and went to a pub for lunch. Around Fort William, most of the restaurants are pubs since it's very cold and locals like to warm themselves with a drink. As we walked around the street after lunch, we stopped into a store to buy some winter clothes. This is a great place to get winter clothes as the higher you go, the colder it gets. In addition to this, there are many hotels within walking distance from here for those who are looking for somewhere to stay and a few supermarkets nearby for you to purchase your necessities. #deliciousfood#bestislandtraveltowns#travelinspiration#unforgettableexperiences

We planned to rent a car from Edinburgh to the Isle of Skye, and chose to rest in Fort William on the way (we could also visit the filming location of Harry Potter, Glenfinnan Viaduct Viewpoint). We chose a B&B with free parking. The front desk and the accommodation were not in the same place. Although the lady at the front desk gave us a simple map, and I had seen the appearance of the house on Google Maps before I came, I got lost at night. It was a coincidence that I met a taxi driver. When I asked her the name of the hotel, she knew where it was and asked us to follow her. I am very grateful to the enthusiastic lady. The room we were given had a short flight of stairs. The whole building had a code lock, and the room had a separate code lock, which was very safe. The room was not well lit, and the living room needed to be lit during the day. The room was warm as soon as the heater was turned on. The kitchen was also very comfortable to use, and the bed was very comfortable. It was very close to the main road, only 1-2 minutes away, which was very convenient. Hotel name: Garrison Hotel The price for 4 people for two nights was 3,830. The lady at the front desk also gave us coffee capsules and oat milk when we checked in. Check-in time is after 4 pm, and check-out is before 10 am. Tips: Online communication requires timely attention and response to the information sent to you by the hotel, otherwise you may not receive the check-in password.
