The Isle of Skye Although it’s easily mistaken for the top part of Scotland on a map, the Isle of Skye is in fact the largest island of the Inner Hebrides, right at the top of Great Britain. Dominated by the famous Cuillin mountains, the Isle of Skye is a treat for landscape photographers and tourists alike with its brooding, intense nature and its ability to catch you completely off guard with its majesty and beauty. Portree Harbour is a bustling port just perfect for a Scotland photography tour, but there’s really nowhere you can go on Skye that won’t make for an absolutely thrilling adventure photo tour. The Isle is also known for its long history of scotch distilling, so be sure to sample some of the local tipple– but not before you’ve got a day’s worth of images, because you might not be able to focus afterwards, with or without your camera!
