Firstly, we went south to Aird of Sleat, which is at the end of the road, just a short drive. We went for a nosey but there was nothing there but sheep and farmhouses. And it was hosing with rain. That aside, the scenery was pretty amazing.
We headed north on what is the only main route, through Kinloch and Broadford, before arriving at the junction at Sligachan at which point we turned left to take the northern route towards Dunvegan.
This route climbs over some quite high mountains, it's almost like another Highlands that the Isle of Skye keeps all to itself. We were so fortunately that the rain lifted, and the sun came out, while at the same time the waterfalls and rivers flowed freely.
The road was in good condition, designed to take a large number of tourists, but wasn't overly busy. We expected being Easter to have a lot more traffic on the roads.
The road eventually dropped down towards sea level, with views over lochs galore, all by this time lovely blue as the sky cleared.
Before we knew it we arrived in Dunvegan. The town is tiny, we passed straight through and continued to our destination, Dunvegan Castle.
We thoroughly enjoyed our drive here. The Isle of Skye really is something special.
