What is at the other end
Skye is reached by bridge from Kyle of Lochalsh, so no ferry booking is needed. Portree is the island's main town, built round a harbour of coloured houses. The drive west from Inverness runs through Glen Shiel past the Five Sisters, which is among the most dramatic stretches of road in Britain.
Who travels this route
Skye-bound travellers who flew into Inverness to save the long drive from the central belt.
What to know before you book
This is a genuine mountain road, not a motorway. Winter weather and summer coach traffic both add time, so we plan with a buffer.
