Isle of Skye, Scotland

Hiking on the Isle of Skye, August 24, 2021

Loch Leatham, Skye

Where is the Isle of Skye?
The largest of the Inner Hebrides. 

First hike was "The Storr" which means big or prominent from old Norse.  While the littlest one got to ride, the other two boys hiked up the trail. It was about 2.5 miles round trip to where we stopped for lunch. They were such troopers!   

This area has been used in several films including Prometheus (2012) and The Wickerman (1973).

Next, we piled back in the big van and found some of the narrowest roads on the island, leading to our next hike: The Quiraing or "Cuith Raing" in the Gaelic. 

Narrow roads leading up to Quiraing

The car took us most of the way up, and the views were spectacular.

This location is so awe inspiring that it has been used in eight different movie scenes including: King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017), Transformers: The Last Knight (2017), The BFG (2016), 

Macbeth (2015), 47 Ronin (2013), Snow White and the Huntsman (2012), Stardust (2007) and who can forget The Land that Time Forgot (1975).
