Cuillin Ridge Skye Sgurr Dubh an Da Beinn and Loch Coir' a'Ghrunnda

Cuillin Ridge, Skye, Sgurr Dubh an Da Beinn, and Loch Coir' a'Ghrunnda.

Coir' a'Ghrunnda provides access to the Cuillin Ridge from the Southern end. In mist it is one of the most intimidating places I have ever been. A sense of foreboding comes over you, as if you are daring to enter a different world. It is not a place for a novice hillwalker, but we found ourselves there many years ago. With the compass virtually useless due to the magnetism in the rock, it was a chastening experience, but one I treasure.

Also the merging point of three roads, and site of the religious assemblies of the Free Church, Dunvegan’s main tourist attraction today is its castle, the seat of the clan MacLeod since the 13th century. Within the present-day fortress (which dates from 1840), are three famous items of interest: Rory Mor’s Horn, the Dunvegan Cup and the Fairy Flag, each with their own piece of history. The Giant Angus MacAskill Museum is a more recent attraction to the village and is housed in a restored thatched smithy. To the west of Dunvegan, the Duirinish peninsula features two flat-topped peaks known as MacLeod’s Tables, and places of interest to visit include the Colbost Croft Museum where much can be gleaned from a collection of news cuttings about crofting life during the 19th century. Nearby is the renowned Three Chimneys restaurant. Borreraig Park, open daily, offers a retail outlet for Skye-produced crafts and also functions as an open-air museum of horsedrawn farm machinery. Formerly a famous piping college, the MacCrimmon Piping Heritage Centre at Borreraig makes for an interesting day out, whilst a little further afield on the Minginish peninsula, the Talisker whisky distillery near Carbost offers tours by appointment.

Centrally situated on the Isle of Skye, both properties stand detached – Caladh House offering spacious accommodation for families (all bedrooms are en-suite), whilst the smaller, neat little Caladh Cottage, is more suited to a smaller group. Portree, although referred to by locals as ‘the village’, is the main town on the island, and lies 6 miles distant, with its selection of fine restaurants and lively pubs. Boat trips run from the little cliff-edged harbour, and also of interest is the Aros Centre which outlines the island’s history and has a children’s play area and way-marked forest trails, together with a theatre that shows films and hosts Gaelic concerts. The An Tuireann Arts Centre a mile or so out of Portree gives insight into contemporary visual arts, and stages concerts and exhibitions. For a taste of local entertainment, ceilidhs – Gaelic song and music evenings – are held on several evenings each week throughout the summer season. Within the area of Portree, bicycles can be hired and horse riding is available. The ferry terminal for the Outer Hebrides is just a short drive from Caladh, and the Whitewave activity centre, a similar distance away, offers canoeing. Diving can also be organised in Lochbay, towards Dunvegan. The famous Cuillin mountain range is about a 20-minute drive away and makes a great day out for the avid climber. A similar distance away lies Dunvegan Castle with its Fairy Flag (reputedly given to the Clan by fairies to protect them in times of danger) and history of the Clan MacLeod. The Clan MacDonald have their seat in the southern peninsula of Skye, together with their Clan and Heritage Centre set amidst splendid gardens, and from this area, the ferry leaves for the mainland at Mallaig. Sea safari trips also prove popular, and at Kyle of Lochalsh, trips in glass-bottom boats are available. Dotted throughout the area of Skye and Lochalsh are crafts shops to browse around and spectacular scenery to enjoy. Immediately across on the mainland lies picturesque Plockton – famous for its palm trees, and a favourite anchorage point for yachts.

Ben Lomond and Loch Lomond

Ben Lomond and Loch Lomond.

Ben Lomond is the southernmost Munro in Scotland and a very popular hill, being so close to the Central belt. It was encouraging to see so many young people out climbing the hill yesterday. This picture was taken two years ago from a pleasure craft on the Loch. Unfortunately, yesterday, the summit was enveloped in mist, with gusting winds.

The walk should take around five hours at a leisurely pace on a nice day. Get there early to avoid the crowds!
