The greatest part about having your own ride is that you can travel where you want, when you want. Make full use of your newfound freedom by experiencing all there is to do in Portree. It’s just 20 miles away. Old Man of Storr, Skye Riding Centre and Kilt Rock alone make the drive out worth it. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Gairloch, 30 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Redpoint Beach. (But we’re also big fans of Big Sand Beach and Gairloch Beach.)
