Destination: Isle of Skye
Three island days work better than trying to collect Skye's famous photographs in one lap.Good for: Distinctive landscapes and worthwhile food stops; the bridge gives you an alternative to ferry travel.The compromise: Long approach from Renfrew, crowded landmark parking and slow detours. A rushed weekend leaves little time on the island.Passing places are for traffic, and a full viewpoint car park is a reason to come back later. Put the last overnight on the mainland for a noon handback; Portree to Renfrew is a substantial transfer, not a relaxed final morning.Read the full Isle of Skye campervan guide
6-day Skye via Glenfinnan
Six hire days with two full days on Skye: first settle in Glencoe, cross via Glenfinnan and Mallaig, then spend three nights at a Portree base. The fifth day is the separate journey south, leaving a sensible final morning.
8-day west coast & Skye
Eight days along Loch Lomond, Loch Fyne, Oban and Glencoe before the Mallaig ferry to Skye. Keep Trotternish for the full island day, then make the separate mainland transfer to Glencoe before handback.
12-day Grand Scotland loop
