Tips

Hiking

Rubha Hunish is the northernmost point on Skye. If you can spare some time, you should talk a walk along the beautiful cliffs and maybe find a spot for wild camping here. It is considered to be one of the most scenic spots on Skye.

Hiking

So worth the walk. It does get quite busy during the tourist season. If you want to walk down to the headland, go late in the day as the sun will be on the cliffs then which makes for nice pictures and a much nicer experience. As it is all open bog (and really gets boggy depending on the weather), try and stay to the path to avoid the paths widening with every person walking there.

You can also continue from here to the cozy booty "look out" on top of the cliffs.
