One of the largest islands in Scotlands, the Isle of Skye is a paradise with rugged landscapes, breathtaking sceneries, old-world architecture, and hospitable people. Portree is one of the prettiest towns on the island, adorned with pastel-colored establishments and scenic harbor views. There, you can also enjoy food trips and pub crawls. If you are a fan of legends and myths, don’t miss a chance to visit Old Man of Storr in the Trotternish peninsula, believed to be a giant’s thumb. Right on the base of the Black Cuillin mountain range lies Fairy Pools, which are as enchanting as their name. You can’t wrap up your Scottish getaway without visiting a local castle, especially Dunvegan Castle.
