Thru-Hiking the Skye Trail | Part 1: Point of Sleat to Broadford

Join us for Part 1 of our thru-hike on the stunning Skye Trail — an unofficial long-distance route across the Isle of Skye in Scotland. We started from the very southern tip of the island at the Point of Sleat, with its remote lighthouse, and made our way north, wild camping along the way. Although the Skye Trail is typically walked north to south (starting in Rubha Hunish and finishing in Broadford), we flipped it — beginning with a hike to the southernmost point, then retracing our steps to Armadale Pier and Broadford before continuing the full route north. This first section includes remote beaches, coastal paths, and amazing weather. We aimed for ~15 miles per day and carried everything we needed to camp wild. 📍 Route: Point of Sleat → Armadale → Broadford 🎒 Style: Thru-hike, wild camping 🏴 Location: Isle of Skye, Scotland ☀️ Conditions: Sunshine, solitude, and stunning views Stay tuned for Part 2 as we head deeper into the wild heart of Skye! #SkyeTrail #ThruHiking #HikingScotland #WildCamping #LongDistanceHike 00:00 Welcome to the Skye Trail 01:09 Bus to Armadale & soggy start 01:45 Walk to the Point of Sleat 03:09 A Nod to the Film ‘Local Hero’ 04:38 White Beaches & Sleat Lighthouse 05:25 Turning north — the trail begins 07:04 Back to Armadale 07:22 Long road stretch toward Broadford 08:47 Mossy pitch & evening camp 10:45 Day Two — Breakfast by the Shore 12:17 Road walking to Broadford 13:42 First view of Blaven 15:40 Coffee, Meal & Restock in Broadford 16:11 Leaving Broadford & past Kilmore 16:32 Finding a campsite & Part 2 Teaser
