Hi there,
We've planned a family trip to Skye for this October half term. We're taking the sleeper train from London to Inverness, and then hiring a car to drive to Skye. We arrive in Inverness on Tues morning and have booked an airbnb in Staffin for that first night. Then we need to drive on up to Shulista for another 3 nights. We'll then drive back to Inverness on Sat and fly home.
I've been doing a lot of reading online to try and plan an itinerary, but it's tricky without having any real sense of how far apart things are. There's me, DH and our two kids (11 and 9) to plan for, and we like a bit of walking, definitely wildlife spotting, and anything else that's worth a look. To be honest, we're hoping to spend the nights star gazing, so don't need massively active days, but equally it'll get boring very soon if we stay in with board games the whole time.
Does anyone have any advice? And (sorry if this is a stupid question), will there be farm shops or similar to pick up groceries during the week? We're self catering but I don't know how much stuff to bring with me. Ideally I'd buy locally.
Thanks 😊
