Train, Travel, & Skye

Hi, all.
It will probably be a couple of years until we actually go, but I want my husband and I to think about our next trip to Scotland. We loved Edinburgh and Inverness, as well as Mull and Iona, but I didn’t plan well for Skye and on our one night there it poured.

So this time, ideally, we would like to take a nice, scenic train ride, rent a taxi if possible, and then stay on Skye for a few nights, then vice versa on the way back. Your thoughts on any or all parts of this? We are in our 70s, and for my husband, long walks are difficult. But other than that, we’re active and curious. Plus: he absolutely loves trains.

Many thanks,
Marjie

Wow! This is incredibly helpful in every way, and will give me a good start on a detailed plan for the trip. Thanks so very much.

There is also a 7 day Skye megarider for £35.50 which is an app based ticket. You can also have that on a Smartcard (if you have one, like me) but Stagecoach in Scotland are no longer issuing new smartcards. So for most people it is now app only.
