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.

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

Add a day to your Isle of Skye itinerary and hop on the ferry from Sconscer to visit the quieter Isle of Raasay. Beautiful and atmospheric with great history and wildlife, this shouldn't be skipped.
