I won't go too much into our day as there were a few hikes. However, I would like to recommend that you use Walkhighlands as a resource if you have plans to hike. It has enough details to help with the start of trails as some were not so obvious. Also the advice we received about waiting in case of bad weather was helpful today. Despite the rain and fog, there were enough breaks in the weather for us to make the hike, see the view or take the photo. A little bit of patience goes a long way although sometimes luck plays a part as the windows for these opportunities may be a matter of minutes!
There were some sites we couldn't visit such as Fairy Pools because the stream we had to cross had become too high with the recent heavy rains. All in all though, we had a fabulous day. Isle of Skye was simply stunning and we could only imagine how much better it would have been if the weather had been on our side.

| The last part of the path was narrow and slippery due to the rain. So to avoid losing children down the steep cliff, we decided not to proceed |
