Camping at Sligachan - Isle of Skye, Scotland

Having just returned from a trip to Skye, I thought I'd pen something on visiting the area of Sligachan.

Firstly, we stayed at the Sligachan Campsite, which has a stunning panorama of the surrounding mountains and takes about an hour to get to from the the Skye Bridge, it's also about 9 miles from Portree. There is a a hotel and a bar, Seumas', which also cater for others.

The Sligachan Campsite is run by older gentleman, with the help of his 2 dogs. He lives on-site and collects the money in person by doing the rounds - no cards accepted here! The nearest ATM/cash machine to Sligachan is in Portree, as we found out. The campsite has basic facilities but views to die for, as you can see below. It's also a perfect jumping-off point for walks in all directions, ranging from fun to serious. One place we kept seeing images of was Loch Coruisk (or Loch Coire Uisg, meaning 'caudlron of water's in Gaelic) - it's about 8 miles from Sligachan but there is the possibility of returning by bus from Elgol, approximately 5 miles from Loch Coruisk.
