The Red Cuillins cast a shadow over Broadford, the second-largest village on Skye, which extends along Broadford Bay’s southern shore. Views stretch over to the Isle of Pabay and, in the distance, to the mainland’s Applecross mountains. The village offers shops, lodging, and vibrant craft markets to attract travellers. Elgol, a little settlement nearby, boasts “the finest vista in Britain”—a view of the Cuillin Ridge’s terminus across Loch Scavaig. Take a memorable boat ride from Elgol Pier to Loch Coruisk, located in the Cullin Mountain Range. There are numerous attractions on the nearby Sleat Peninsula, also known as the “Garden of Skye,” and there is a ferry that runs from Armadale to Mallaig.
