BBC 2 Scotland (Skye Channel 990) will be broadcasting our hour-long documentary - The Skye Trail, on Sunday December 27 at 7pm.
The route starts at Rubha Huinish on the northern tip of the Trotternish peninsula of Skye and follows the rolling escarpment down to Portree. From there we trek through the area known as The Braes to Loch Sligachan then follow the north shore of the sea-loch to Sligachan Inn. We wander down Glen Sligachan, visit Loch Curuisk, cross the Bad Step and climb Blaven from Camasunary. We then trek around by the head of Loch Slapin, visit the lost villages of Boreraig and Suisiniah and wander along the Marble Trail to finish in Broadford. In between all the hiking we take time to visit Raasay and Hallaig, in celebration of the great Sorley MacLean. We have some great interviewees and it’s a fantastic walk. I haven’t seen any of the rushes yet - we’re still working on the project, but we hope it might inspire a few folk during the dark days of mid-winter.
