Day 5: View of Camasunary from the slopes of Blà Bheinn

The Skye Trail, a recently introduced long-distance hiking trail across the largest island in Scotland's Inner Hebrides, the Isle of Skye, winds from Rubha Hunish in the north along the Trotternish Ridge and past the Cuillin to Broadford in the south.

Rather than a traditional hiking route with tens or even hundreds years of history, this journey is a well-crafted connection of day hikes, various footpaths and even minor roads put together in the admirable effort of creating a single long-distance trail across Scotland's most iconic island.

The trail is often being described as not marked, requiring navigational skills, stamina and self-reliance, and thus suited for experienced hikers only. Though this may be true in the Trotternish Ridge crossing and the infamous Scottish weather cannot be underestimated neither, at the end of the day one realizes that the rather compact island cannot posses real danger or high risk to those with some decent experience and sound judgement.

-----

During the fifth day on the trail, we half-climbed Blà Bheinn mountain and then continued hiking using the spectacular coastal path to Elgol.
