🌈Seeing many people share how beautiful the Isle of Skye is, I really wanted to go! Giving a shoutout to the Isle of Skye because it's truly beautiful! 💯Studying in the UK, you really should visit at least once! It's free, wild, and primitive, and you don't need to interact with humans, haha, with its main attractions being the natural landscapes and fewer people. 💗 - 🇬🇧My Isle of Skye three-day tour itinerary 😍Day1: Luss Village - Loch Lomond - Glencoe Valley - The Three Sisters - Fort William - Ben Nevis - Glenfinnan Viaduct (Harry Potter steam train filming location) 😍Day2: Portree Village - The Old Man of Storr - Kilt Rock - Lealt Falls - Eilean Donan Castle - Loch Ness 😍Day3: Scottish Highlands National Park - Salmon Town - St Andrews - Forth Bridge - 🚂Attractions guide 1️⃣Loch Ness: Located in the great canyon in the northern Highlands, the lake is 37km long and is famous for the Loch Ness Monster legend~ 2️⃣Eilean Donan Castle: One of the world's famous castles, originally used to defend against the Vikings, the castle is situated on a small island in the lake 3️⃣Portree: A charming little town on the Isle of Skye, nestled by a tranquil bay. The colorful houses are the town's iconic buildings 4️⃣Old Man of Storr: One of the iconic attractions on the northern Isle of Skye, resembling the profile of an old man facing the sea. Nature's craftsmanship is just amazing~ - 🗣Cost includes 💯Accommodation: 2 nights' stay in a Highland B&B double room 💯Transport: 7-9 seater Mercedes-Benz business class or equivalent vehicle, ensuring a comfortable and safe journey 💯Personnel: 1 driver-guide, making it more convenient to understand the local customs - ‼️Tour dates ⏰December: 2, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 30, 31 ⏰January: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 16, 23 - 💜Tips: Be sure to wear thick rainproof and waterproof clothes and outdoor shoes. The rain comes without warning, and umbrellas are completely useless, blown away leaving your face in tears. You can experience eight seasons in one day, and for girls, wearing leggings is the most appropriate, as they are convenient for travel and photo-taking. - 🌟Group tour experience: I think the itinerary is very worthwhile, 👀because it almost passes through most of the attractions of the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye, which my classmates didn't get with the Chinese tour group! (Each place has a 15-20 minute stop, with longer stops at major attractions. Departing at 8:30 am and returning to the accommodation by 6:30 pm, with pick-up and drop-off, which is very convenient) The most memorable part was that the driver also took us to touch the Highland cows, which were super cute. 💗

A Breathtaking Journey Through the Fairy Pools

Nestled amidst the rugged landscapes of the Isle of Skye, the Fairy Pools offer an enchanting and captivating experience that will leave you in awe. As I embarked on this journey, I couldn't help but be mesmerized by the crystal-clear turquoise waters that flowed gracefully through the magnificent natural rock formations. Lush greenery surrounds the pools, creating a picturesque setting that feels straight out of a fairytale. The Fairy Pools provide a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the raw beauty of nature. With waterfalls cascading down into inviting plunge pools, it's hard to resist taking a refreshing dip. I found the water to be chilly but invigorating, and the feeling of swimming amidst such breathtaking scenery was truly indescribable. During my visit, I discovered that careful footing is crucial as the terrain can be uneven and slippery, particularly during wet weather. Wearing sturdy shoes and taking your time while exploring is essential to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Additionally, it's advisable to bring along a waterproof camera to capture the magic of this remarkable place. As I hiked along the tranquil pathways surrounding the Fairy Pools, I felt a sense of serenity and calm wash over me. The stunning sights and sounds of nature's symphony filled my senses, transporting me to a world far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you're a nature enthusiast and seek to marvel at natural wonders, the Fairy Pools on the Isle of Skye should be on your bucket list. Prepare to be captivated by the ethereal beauty that awaits you in this untouched paradise. #falltrip#mytravelhacks#historicallandmarks

Kilt Rock - Isle of Skye, Scotland

Kilt Rock is a magnificent geological formation on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. It’s a popular tourist attraction known for its dramatic cliffs & striking resemblance to a pleated kilt, hence the name - Kilt Rock. You can find some dinosaur printings in the area too, hence there’s a Dino Museum in Kilt Rock viewing area. But what brings visitors here is definitely the Mealt Falls, where water plunges from the top of the cliff 90 metres directly into the sea below. It will create a mesmerising sight & an enchanting sound that echoes across the area. Nearby, you can also find a charming small village of Staffin, where you can learn more about the history & traditions of the Isle of Skye. Kilt Rock is 16km from Portree (the main town on Skye), and I think is a must-visit during your Isle of Skye road trip. #tripblazers #scotland #uk #darwintravel
