Sightseeing
Stop near here for access to the Cuillin mountains, and a picturesque view from the bridge over the Sligachan River. (Please park safely and don't just stop in the road.) Afterwards if you are not driving you could treat yourself to a few of over 400 single malt whiskies in the bar!

City advice
What to pack
There's no bad weather...
...just incorrect clothing.
The weather on Skye can be wildly unpredictable and changeable. At the very least bring decent walking shoes and a good waterproof coat.
