Transport around the Isle of Skye?

We used Brian for our transport on Skye. Responsive, flexible, and so kind.

Thanks for the information, AbbyO. I will contact them to see if it will work out.

There is a local bus route from Portree, the #56 runs several.times a day to the castle, and City link coaches run quite frequently from Kyle to.Portree, so very easy to reach Dunvegan.

I think the all day ,all Island bus pass is about £8 per person.
Still busy on Skye so I would recommend booking taxis a day ahead if possible

I used the public bus to get to Dunvegan in 2019. I recall a bit of a walk to the castle, but it's possible there was a closer stop where I could have gotten off and reboarded.

Bus runs right to the ticket office. Castle is about 230 yds beyond

Thanks so much, everyone! Really appreciate all the suggestions, and it sounds like the bus will give us the most time to browse through the ancestral castle and gardens. Hopefully the bus also provides a mini-tour of the island as it makes its rounds. We're so looking forward to our trip, and I am sure I'll be tapping the deep collective knowledge of everyone here often as I plan.

Gratefully, Lora

just finished watching a travel series with the actors Alan Cummings and Miriam Margoyles on PBS, they travel around Skye on the final episode. the series is a little hard to find but PBS shows it on and off, if you ever stumble upon it be sure to DVR all the episodes before they disappear.

Phred, we watched that a couple of years ago and loved it, but being the age I am, the details have done a flit. Will look for it again, maybe on BritBox.
