August 16, 2023,🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Schottland: Runde auf Skye

Today a route with many animal encounters. Sheep and cows are not shy.
Beautiful blue skies over Skye which is rather rare.
We pass ruins, villages that fell victim to the Highland Clearances. At the end of the 18th century people were driven out to make way for sheep...

May 9, 2024,Isle of Skye Trail | Episode 1, Teil 1/2 | Broadford - Torrin | Walking Scotland

You can find the film about the hike here:

The Isle of Skye Trail. An unmarked and unofficial hiking trail about 120 km long across the mystical Atlantic island off the coast of Scotland.

I hike the trail from south to north, from Broadford to the red telephone box.

May 16, 2024,Skye Trail dag 7: langs tijdens de clearances verlaten dorpen

And then the last day on the Skye Trail has already arrived. I wish it could have lasted another two weeks!
Fortunately, a nice ending, with remote paths along lochs and abandoned villages during the clearances. Worthy end to such a nice adventure!

This was our first leg of the Skye Trail. We started relatively late because there were no gas cartridges to buy at the Coop in Broadford (not even at the gas station). You have to know that, because then you wouldn't have to go back to Kyle to get them ;-)

April 9, 2025,Etappe 7: von Torrin nach Broadford

At night, all I could hear was the sound of the wind and the sea. In the morning, the chirping of birds – a fantastic start to the day. After another night in the tent, I felt butterflies in my stomach on the last day, and the thirst for adventure seized me for the final leg of the Skye Trail. …
