Rubha nam Bràithrean, also known as Brothers Point, is a stunningly picturesque headland on the Isle of Skye. It’s a place of natural beauty, offering breathtaking views of the peninsula and the surrounding sea.
To visit Brothers Point, you would start from the car park in Culnacnoc, which is about 13 miles north of Portree. From there, a hike of approximately 3.6km (2.25 miles) will take you to the headland. The trail involves a mix of gravel and dirt paths, and it’s recommended to wear good walking or hiking shoes, especially as parts of the hike may lead you through a bog.
