We're off to Skye over Easter and while there are lists of things to do or places to go, I was wondering if anyone has a favourite activity or place when visiting Skye? Especially with children under 10.

Picture of the Loch Leathan from up the Storr path on the east side of the Isle of Skye. The loch shines silver and the hills lie dark on either side. The sky is flecked with clouds and blue.

Come enjoy springtime magic:

Watch otters on the shore
Birds in joyful chorus
Blooming woodland walks
Waxing moon, starry skies – maybe even Northern Lights!
Soak up the spring sun before the midges arrive! Best time of year!

Escape, unwind and rewild. Limited spaces – don’t miss out!

Skye is ridiculous, how can anywhere actually be this beautiful?!

A small Loch on Skye, with mountains behind and the sun shining down, with a reflection of the sun in the water and browny green grass in the foreground.

A crystallised ammonite fossil in a pale stone.

A stony beach, with cold blue sea behind it. My shadow is being cast in front of the camera to the left of the image.

A blue staffy dog in among stones and water on a beach. There is a large stone in the foreground, covered in green matter, may be algae, I'm not actually sure. There is a large brown hill in the background and the sea to the right.

Something for #silentsunday.

Wide view of a green pasture in the foreground with some sheep grazing. The scene is set next to the sea, which can be seen in the right foreground and centre background of the picture. The sea is calm. Further in the background, hills and cliffs rise, the top of the tallest rocky hill obscured by low hanging clouds that cover the sky. Dim dusk light in a blue-ish hue well after the sun has already set.

Are you visiting #Skye this year? My new Skye and the #InnerHebrides guidebook recommends the island's most interesting nooks and crannies, with lots of good reasons to take your time exploring.

Trotternish ridge, Skye

The light was so flat the mountains ended up looking like cut out cards placed on top of each other. 30 minutes later we got caught in a late spring snow blizzard while walking on the Quiraing.

Looking south from Flodigarry on the Isle of Skye's Trotternish Peninsula. The image shows a view down a rough grassy slope towards a shoreline that stretches from bottom left to middle right. There are some white houses scattered behind the shore and in the distance a headland with grassy cliffs extends from right to left, with a low-lying island off its tip.

The remains of Knock Castle on the Isle of Skye, with the Sound of Sleat and Knoydart in the background. The castle was built in the early 1400s on a headland that had been fortified since the Iron Age. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/skye/knockcastle/index.html

The remains of Knock Castle on the Isle of Skye. The image shows a view down onto a shorline with a rocky headland protruding into it from the left in the middle distance. On the highest point of the headland are stone ruins covered in vegetation. The sea is in the background with, beyond that, mountains on a far shoreline.
