With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Isle of Skye, 18 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Talisker Distillery, Fairy Pools and Faerie Glen. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Portree, 20 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Old Man of Storr. (But we’d also recommend Skye Riding Centre and Kilt Rock.)
