Cuillins Hills & Heather
8/10/2023: This was yet another beautiful hike. The heather is amazing. It is not a very difficult hike and at the end there is this incredible little bakery: Amy’s Place Tea Room. Wow! the coffee, tea, and especially the incredible baked goods are amazing. It was almost worth the entire trip to Scotland to enjoy Amy’s Place.
Day 6: Cuillin Hills / Perthshire
Hike through a wild glen on a journey through Skye’s famous mountains—the Black Cuillin and Red Cuillin ranges. Surrounded by red-hued peaks, descend volcanic slopes, and take in a stunning vista of the Black Cuillin—one of Scotland’s most iconic views. Trace the coast of Loch Slapin, framed by the magnificent rock citadel of Blaven. After refreshments in a local tea room, return to the mainland and head southeast to Perthshire and settle into our hotel located in a Victorian-era castle.
(5-6 miles hiking, 3-4 hours)
