48 hours on the ISLE OF SKYE
We only had one full day on Skye, so we try to cram two days’ worth of itinerary into it!
We visited the Talisker distillery and the beautiful bay from which it takes its name, ate sea food at the Oyster Shed and walked to Kilt Rock and Neast falls from our brilliantly situated AirBnb.
We climbed the Old Man of Storr, a 50 m tall rock pinnacle and explored the Quiraing, a jumble of rock towers and grassy domes formed in ancient volcanic flows and subsequent slippages.
A narrow roads took us to Neist Point on the west coast, where sea birds cling to the dark rocks below the picturesque lighthouse and the outer Hebrides islands are visible low on the horizon.
We were warned of crowds on Skye, but perhaps we were ahead of them, as we never saw more than one or two tour buses at a time, and often hiked alone for hours.
Ultimate Guide To The Isle of Skye Scotland | Old Man of Storr and Much More | Scottish Highlands
We have been to the Isle of Skye on three separate occasions and have done many things on Skye. A couple of the most memorable experiences were hiking The Old Man of Storr, hiking The Quiraing, seeing the northern lights near Fairy Pools, and experiencing the strongest wind ever at Duntulum Castle!
The Isle of Skye is one of the most spectacular places on this planet, but the weather can be very temperamental, as you can see in our Isle of Skye Video! Even with visiting this highlands isle as many times as us, we were still confronted with extreme wind and rain each time--it's basically inevitable in Scotland!
So no matter what time of year you go, expect a little bit of the Scottish weather but don't worry, it's actually quite fun! The only advice we can give you on the time of year to go is that the summer is peak season and they titrate the number of people they allow onto the island if you are a tourist! So look at going in the shoulder seasons or book your accommodations well in advance and leave early to beat the traffic on those narrow Scottish Isle of Skye roads!
Cheers!

Isle of Skye Scotland Cost of Living | Grocery Store Haul
In this Isle of Skye Scotland cost of living grocery store haul video we break down what things will cost you when visiting. We were very surprised how cheap everything seemed to us. The most economical way to visit the Scottish Highlands is to have a place with a refrigerator that you can store groceries because it is much cheaper than eating out.

82 Islands, Island #1 : The Isle of Skye (and a crappy situation)
82 Islands
Island #1: The Isle of Skye
This is the first video diary of my 82 islands trip and sadly it's not as positive as I'd hoped...
I've started on Skye... where better to begin than the island I call home?
Frustratingly, this video isn't about what I wanted for the intro to 82 islands but it does show exactly why it's important to spread the word about Leave No Trace.
One thing I wanted to do on these visits is leave the islands a little better than I found them and part of this meant clearing up these wet wipes after my morning swim in the waterfall and covering the poop itself with stones -yuck!
Anyone who leaves stuff like this for others to clean up needs a good dose of karma!
Literally a crappy beginning...
Visiting the Talisker Scotch Whisky Distillery on Skye and Castle Eilean in Dornie

A Hidden Beach on The Isle of Skye
A Hidden Beach on The Isle of Skye
A final adventure on The Isle of Skye, and we all headed to the beach. Around three kilometers from the road end, we all trekked into this secluded and hidden beach (hidden from view - not a hidden secret ! The full car park indicated a busy place and a google search finds this beach !) . The beach hides itself until the very last turn in the path and what a gem! Turquoise waters and white sands made all the effort in reaching the beach worthwhile. A stunning location on a Scottish Island where beaches usually come second to the mountains...

Best Ever Campervan Conversion ~ Front Line Ambulance
It's not every day that you find a camper conversion complete with a record player!
Well we have, and in this video you get to see it.
Welcome to the Burro Ambulante.
This former front line ambulance has been lovingly repurposed by Neil and Jessica, they have integrated some of the original ambulance fittings, and then used other bits and pieces from their house and charity shops to complete the build. Why Burro Ambulante? Jessica explains. Watch out for a surprise reveal as well, here's a hint, you have to stand in order to use it!
