アイル・オブ・スカイの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ5

A place of longing! People from all over the world come to this spot to experience a sunset.

A safe hut for the night. There are plenty of sleeping places. Perhaps up to 20 people can sleep here. There's a simple toilet further up. You'll need to go further away to get water.

A great, flat hike to the top. You can enjoy the various hills and the view of the sea. Plan on about two hours. Note: There are only about 10-15 parking spaces, but there are plenty of sheep.

A great youth hostel, positioned perfectly for climbing and hiking in the Cuillin. Offers shared dorms and limited private rooms.

In the hut there is a small common room for eating and sitting and a bedroom with two bunk beds. Staying overnight in a bothy is generally free, but keeping it clean and behaving appropriately are mandatory.

It is a great area to sit and watch the Glenelg ferry crossing.

Occupying a magnificent position to the west of the formidable Cuillin, Glenbrittle Youth Hostel is an excellent basecamp for adventures on the famous ridge. Open from April to September, the hostel boasts a drying room, catering at breakfast only, secure lockers and free parking for guests. There's no way to reach the hostel by public transport. The nearest bus stop is at Sligachan, around 15 miles (24 km) away.

Camasunary Bothy is a small shelter located in the remote and picturesque Camasunary Bay. The bothy is a popular spot for hill walkers and adventurers seeking to explore the rugged terrain of the Isle of Skye. It offers basic accommodation and is a great option for those looking to experience the wild and unspoiled Scottish landscape. The bothy has two rooms, one for sleeping with wooden sleeping platforms and another for eating. It can accommodate about 15 people between the bunks and benches.
