Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Ratagan Pass viewpoint, Kyle IV40 8HP, UK

The Mam Ratagan, or Bealach Ratagain is a pass from Shiel Bridge on the A87 over the hill to the village and surrounding communities of Glenelg. It is a popular tourist route, linking with the Glenelg - Kylerhea Ferry service to the Isle of Skye, and providing a scenic and interesting alternative to the Skye Bridge. However, what few people perhaps realise is that this is the old road to Skye. The road was first built by Major Caulfeild as a military road to the barracks at Glenelg, but followed an older route used by drovers. The views to the Five sisters of Kintail are unrivalled

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Brochs at Glenelg - Dun Telve & Dun Troddan, Glen Beag, Glenelg IV40 8JX Scotland

Admire a pair of 2,000-year-old tall broch towers set in a beautiful glen.

Dun Telve and Dun Troddan are both outstanding brochs, in the beautiful valley of Gleann Beag. They are unusually close together for brochs, standing just 500m apart.

Their excellent state of preservation attracted attention from an early date, but they are also noteworthy for their design, scale and quality of build. Dun Telve still stands to more than 10m in places. Dun Troddan is shorter, at 7.6m, but is better preserved.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Skye Ferry, Kyle Rhea, Kyle IV42 8NH, UK

18 GLORIOUS MILES await you. Beginning at the turnoff to Shiel Bridge in Kintail to a main road outside of Broadford on Skye you can take a journey to Skye and adventure on the LAST SURVIVING MANUALLY OPERATED TURNTABLE CAR FERRY in the world. The ferry boat, the MV Glenachulish, is the last manually operated turntable ferry in the world. She is ideally suited for this unique crossing to Skye and is an important part of our heritage. Although there has been a car ferry service crossing the Kylerhea straits since 1934, the very same crossing has been in almost constant use for hundreds of years, as this is the closest point on the Mainland to the Isle of Skye.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Plockton, Plockton, Ross and Cromarty, Scottish Highlands, Scotland

Returning over the Skye Bridge, we’ll go searching for Highland cattle and palm trees in Plockton. "The Jewel of the Highlands", Plockton is a picturesque Highland village that sits on a sheltered bay with stunning views overlooking Loch Carron.

Duration: 1 hour
