Running along Trotternish Ridge on the Isle of Skye

SKYE RUNNING SCOTLAND

The spongy earth squishes beneath you; the twisted figures of the Isle of Skye’s iconic Quiraing loom all around you. The mist-shrouded cliffs sit still; the seabirds circle above as you gallup through an otherworldly grove of greens, grays, and organic pastels.

Running through the Isle of Skye’s majestic mountains—trails or no trails, you’re free to roam—is a breathtaking endeavor, in more ways than one. Skirt along the North Atlantic on the windswept, pebbly beaches. Dance atop the vertiginous cliffs riddled with seabirds.

This is Scotland. This is the Isle of Skye.

RUNNING ON THE ISLE OF SKYE

In a country overflowing with dramatic scenery, Skye makes for an ideal location to experience Scottish wildness. The Trotternish Peninsula possesses some of the most famous, picturesque terrain on an island brimming with splendors.

Here is a sampling of what we will explore:

  • The iconic and ancient escarpments of The Quiraing
  • The rugged, majestic Trotternish Ridge. Is it the best scenery in the British Isles? See for yourself.
  • The edge-of-the-world landscape of Rubha Hunish, the northernmost point in Skye
  • For groups interested in venturing further afield, a day trip to the Cuillin Hills in the south of Skye can be arranged.
  • A final itinerary will be created with input from you and/or your group.
