What the Isle of Skye has to offer for Cottage Holidays

If you are seeking a remote self-catering holiday in Scotland, you may be considering a holiday on the Isle of Skye, one of the islands in the Inner Hebrides.  The Isle of Skye has a reputation for being a beautiful, idyllic unspoilt part of Scotland with beaches, cliffs, mountains and lochs.  If you are seeking somewhere peaceful and remote, do some research and see if the Isle of Skye could be right for you.  The Isle of Skye is considered an inspirational place by some, as can be seen by the large number of artists who have moved to the Isle of Skye and made it their home.

Things to See and Do on a Self-Catering Holiday on Skye

• Wildlife watching: Wildlife abounds in the Isle of Skye, particularly on the quieter more remote part of the Isle of Skye where it is possible to see stags, deer and sea eagles, take those binoculars and stay eagle-eyed!
   
• Visit Art Galleries: There is a strong resident population of artists in Skye, discover their inspirational works of art on days out.
   
• Walk and Hike around the Isle: There are some excellent walks both inland and by the coast in Skye. The Cuillin Hills can be found on Skye as well as the Trotternish Peninsula which is another fascinating area for hiking and even mountaineering.
   
• Take to the waters: From Skye you can enjoy taking to the waters on whale or dolphin watching trips or take a day trip to another wonderful island such as the nearby Isle of Rum.
