Ramasaig to Orbost
Ramasaig
The classic Skye coastal walk, many guidebook writers have claimed this to be the most dramatic cliff-top walk in Britain. It is a long and challenging route, and requires more effort than many mountain ascents. The route is linear and neither end is served by public transport, so two cars will probably be required.
Terrain - Excellent going on firm cliff-top turf for much of the route; other sections are pathless, boggy and very rough. A couple of stream crossings could be difficult especially if in spate.
Grade 4
Distance 22.5km (14 miles)
