Revealing how accessible Skye is For All
One of the top trips to do from Skye is a boat trip from the beautiful village of Elgol to Loch Coruisk or the Small Isles. On a baking hot, near tropical Friday morning we took a trip to Loch Coruisk with Misty Isle Boat Trips. We could have been in the Caribbean but it was only April.

Cill Chriosd or Christ’s Church as it translates into English stands elevated above the B8083 Broadford-Torrin-Elgol road in south Skye. Now in ruins this former Parish Church is on a sight known for Christian worship since the 7th Century. Access is not wheelchair friendly as the church stands atop a small hill and there are steps and rough ground in the graveyard. However with a bit of help from me and her trusty sticks Sarah managed a steady potter around to see the sights. The view from the road is also very good.
Armadale Castle and Gardens is located on the Sleat peninsula in the south of Skye. Sleat is known as the garden of Skye and the beautiful drive down to Armadale illustrates why. The Castle and Gardens are a stones throw from the Mallaig to Armadale ferry if you arrive over the sea. From Broadford it is about a 20 minute drive in a car on the A851.
