The magical Isle of Skye is the largest of the Hebridean islands. Visit the Red and Black Cuillins which are among the most spectacular peaks in Scotland.
The Cuillin Hills, which dominate the scenery on the island, are counted among
the most spectacular peaks in Scotland.
There are two Cuillin ranges, each with a distinct character. The Red Cuillins
are formed of red granite, and rounded and gentle in appearance. The best
places to access the Red Cuillins are Broadford and Sligachan. The Black
Cuillins, by contrast, are jagged, dark peaks, composed of Tertiary volcanic
rock. The best places to access the Black Cuillins are Sligachan and Glen
Brittle. There are also excellent views of the Black Cuillins from Elgol, where
we will spend some free time.
