[2025 Isle of Skye Attraction] Travel Guide for Sligachan Old Bridge (Updated Mar)

#2024mapped Skye is not an easy travel destination: it could take a good 6hour drive from Glasgow to reach the furthest part of Skye (Neist Point), and the driveway could be one-lane a lot of the times. But it’s more than worth it—and even more so if you have a drone (I don’t, but I can tell only a drone could do the natural landscape here justice). Since it’s not the most traveled destination, it took me some while to know where to go. Here’s some of my recommendation: 1) Sligachan Old Bridge - located almost in the gateway of Skye, so everyone would have pass through Sligachan before heading onto other parts of Skye, but the view is golden m 2) Elgol Beach - one has to make detour (1hr one-way) to come to this place, but I had no regret to have chosen to come here. The beach has unique background, and the views along the way as we drove was rewarding too 3) Neist Point - gorgeous cliff, but it’s located almost at the northwestern end of Skye. It’s almost pitch dark at night, so plan ahead as to what time to start heading back to town—if your accommodation is one of the cottages in this neighborhood, do bring in your own food (or prebook a restaurant coz NOT A SINGLE restaurant do walk-in dinner here) 4) Fairy Glen - the mysterious circle which many people come for was a complete letdown, but the entire place has plenty of good views, being a well-covered “plains” with rivers, lakes and small hills. 5) Old Man of Storr - the views is great at some point but the hike is a tad long (at least 2 hours two-way), so be mentally prepared 6) Quirirang - pretty but the wind was like dangerously strong at a lot of viewpoints (I guess it had something to do with the geographical structure/location of the place), so it could be very challenging to take good photos 7) Brothers Point 8) An Leth-allt View Point Overall, there are still so many more places I have yet explored since I had only two days here. My sister who have spent 10years working and travelling around monthly in New Zealand said that Skye looks quite like New Zealand. So I’d recommend those who have the luxury of time to do road trips in UK venture into Skye

The Isle of Skye has always been seen as a magical place. Beautiful landscapes, plus myths and legends. There are some great stories, some true, some legends that go with the landscape of the Isle of Skye. From clan stories to faerie magic. Personally, I think stories like this really add to the place. And with the landscape on Skye, it’s easy to believe the legend. The Old Sligachan Bridge on Skye has a great tale, and what’s more, you can gain eternal beauty from the waters below the bridge.

If you're looking for a spot that perfectly captures the rugged beauty of the Isle of Skye, look no further than the Sligachan Old Bridge. This charming stone bridge, with its stunning backdrop of the Cuillin mountains, is a must-visit for any traveller. Walking across the Sligachan Old Bridge felt like stepping back in time. The bridge offers a picturesque view that is nothing short of magical. The sound of the river rushing below and the sight of the mountains towering above create a serene atmosphere that is perfect for reflection and photography. I visited on a sunny morning, and the mist rolling off the mountains added an ethereal quality to the scene. As I stood on the bridge, I couldn't help but feel a deep connection to the history and natural beauty of the area. It's no wonder this spot is a favourite among photographers and nature lovers alike. I recommend visiting early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the crowds and capture the best light for photos. The weather in Skye can be unpredictable, so bring waterproof gear. But don't just stop at the bridge. Take a hike along the nearby trails to fully immerse yourself in the stunning landscape. There are plenty of scenic spots around the bridge where you can enjoy a peaceful picnic with a view. The area is steeped in folklore. Take some time to learn about the legends of the mountains and the fairies said to inhabit the region. #SligachanMagic #BridgeToThePast #IsleOfSkyeAdventures #ScenicScotland #TravelInspiration #NatureLoversParadise #SkyeStories Visiting the Sligachan Old Bridge was a highlight of my trip to the Isle of Skye.
