    Getting TO/AROUND: the baot to Skye has always been the romantic way to reach Skye.
    You can get a ferry from Mallaig on the mainland to Armadale on the southern tip of Skye.
    The trip takes about 25minutes, and you can take your car, or travel as just a foot passenger.

    Getting TO/AROUND: Although you can get up to and around Skye by public transport, if you are in a hurry then you cannot beat the old car.
    Skye has many narow and single track roads, so I would not reccomend anything too big.
    Car hire is available at all main UK airports, or bring your own.

    Getting TO/AROUND: Until recently Skye was onlr reachable by ferry. Now though you can drive over the bridge to Skye.
    When it was first built the bridge was controversial, mainly for its high toll charge, one of the dearest crossings in Europe (and it's not that far!)
    Now though it is thankfully free, as it has now been paid for in full (by harrasseed motorists)

    Getting TO/AROUND: Being an island, it's also possible to reach Skye by sail.
    Must say I felt quite envious when the crew disembarked from this old sailing boat.
    Didn't feel so jealous a few days later though when it was blowing a gale!

     I liked the isle of skye ... would have even stayed longer if not for the weather. Biking is definitely not the best way of transport for scotland. Good tips here, thanks fot sharing! Corinne
