To
the South of Portree is Sligachan, nestling amongst the
world famous Cuillin Hills. Its an ideal starting point for
ramblers and mountaineers alike. If you are not used to
wandering in the wilderness - stay on the footpaths as
compasses and navigation equipment tends not to work
correctly due to the hills magnetic rock components.
If you want to go on a trip to the Outer Hebrides head for
Uig in the North and take the ferry to Uist or Lewis and
Harris.
