With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Isle of Skye, 19 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be Talisker Distillery, Fairy Pools and Faerie Glen. Portree is another terrific option. It’s 35 miles away and has tons of intriguing things to do. Old Man of Storr, Skye Riding Centre and Kilt Rock are just the start.
