North & North East Skye
Entirely comprised of the Trotternish peninsula, the largest and most northerly on Skye, it is certainly the most dramatic. Dominated by an awe-inspiring volcanic ridge that rises to 611m (2,000ft) above sea level, it is not only impressively beautiful but also unique. The diverse range of terrain – the ridge gives way to vast tracts of peat moorland riddled with countless rivers and streams that all terminate in a vertiginous plunge over towering cliffs into the sea – provides an abundance of habitats for a wide variety of bird species: Whinchats, twites, pipits, dunlins along with the shy corncrake and on to golden and white tailed eagles. The area is a walker’s and ornithologist’s paradise but also a favourite location for film-makers in search of ‘other-worldly’ backdrops to their stories.
