Two nights at Skye or Glencoe ?
 

Hi,

We will pick rental car from Inverness and drive to Skye in one day and stay there. I am in dilemma, if I should "2 nights in Skye region and 1 night in Glencoe" or "1 night in Skye region and 2 nights in Glencoe". Later we need to drive to Edinburgh.
We are not into hiking and long walks. But interested in photography, scenery, landscapes. I am reading lot of posts about hiking in Skye area, so confused if we spend 2 nights there and assume that we can do some drives around for full day and half.
Please advice.

Thanks

One night on Skye is almost 'Why bother?' territory. The island is very large, the driving is very slow, and parking at the main beauty spots can be difficult to impossible. You won't see much in 1.5 days on the island. When is this trip? It is not a rush around sort of place. If you are visiting over holidays or in the summer Skye will be quite busy - and a one night stay might not even be possible. Some places have 2+ night minimums.

Honestly -- especially if in high season -- I'd consider skipping Skye and having a less hectic time staying on the mainland.

There is no mandate that one must hike . . . 80% of Skye visitors don't even own hiking boots --

It is last week of March. For now I am seeing enough availability.
I understand my time is limited. As of now plan is drive from Inverness to Skye, stay there, drive to Glencoe , stay there and then head to Edinburgh.
have one extra night and trying to decide which place should be two nights stay

March is definitely not high season -- so OK there.

But March is also a pretty iffy time to be visiting places like Skye and Glencoe. Wintry stroms are a real possibility. I personally would not plan a trip to Skye in March. The weather might be OK, fine even. But the likelihood is it won't be.

What is your whole itinerary in Scotland -- the west side of the country is likely to be wetter than some other parts.
