Skye Trail 5: Sligachan to Elgol
Skye Trail 5: Sligachan to Elgol
The fifth stage of the Skye Trail follows remote Glen Sligachan to the beautiful bay at Camusunary. From here a vertiginous cliff path with fantastic views across the water to the Cuillin reaches Elgol which has a shop, cafe, B&B and seafood restaurant. This is a good place to have a rest day and take the boat trip to Loch Coruisk in the heart of the Cuillin if the weather is good.
