Our tour stopped in deer country to see the wild deer roaming. But we didn’t find any deer.

Jumping off in Kyleakin

I decided to see the Isle of Skye the next day, so I jumped off!

From Inverness to Kyleakin I saw few sites in the span of a couple hours. The tour would directly go from Inverness to Fort William today but I decided to jump off in Kyleakin, Skye, to see the Isle of Skye. We ventured into Rogi Falls, Loch of Carron, and finally Kyle of Lochalsh which connects via a new toll bridge to Kyleakin, Skye. Kyleakin is a small little town so there was hardly anything to see or do, so relaxing in the ‘homely’ hostel was the best option. Because MacBackpackers don’t operate a tour of Skye unless there are more than 6 people booked, Adrian (Australian) and I figured we were going to rent a car and do it ourselves.
