Skye has a way of pulling you back with its wild weather, unfinished business, and scenery so beautiful it forgives everything. This February we returned to finally reach Rebel Wood, a quiet memorial grove for Joe Strummer. A gentle track, a triumphant river crossing, and views of snow‑tipped Cuillin made the walk feel magically Skye—peaceful, simple, and worth every step.

A cosy winter lunch at The Three Chimneys at Talisker, with snowy Cuillin views, generous plates, and perfectly pitched service. Highlights included tangy prawn toast, subtly spiced salmon with real depth, tender flat iron steak, rich confit duck, and a nostalgic marmalade steamed pudding. A must‑visit on Skye.

From refined dining to quick bites between Skye’s ever‑changing weather, the north of the island offers some of our favourite cafés. All personally tried and loved, these spots — from Birch in Portree to cosy yurts, community hubs and seaside shacks — make exploring from Beachcomber Cottage even sweete

Making the most of the freshest seafood on the Isle of Skye, a langoustine risotto recipe to try.

If you're searching for somewhere a bit refined to eat on Skye in January and February, it can be tricky. Kinloch Lodge is the solution!
