Good one for after long rains as you literally walk almost all the way on forestry roads. There are options to follow an old forestry walk. While quite overgrown and certainly not well used, they give a nice break from the forestry road. Just bring your boots as tgey are a mandatory piece of kit here. Skriaig is similarly easy to do, but offers much better views including of the Cuillins and the Trotternish ridge.
