• Experience Skye Mountain Guides - Ray's MacKenzie love of the mountains led him to Skye where he has spent the last 10 years, walking, climbing, and exploring, the finest mountain range in the UK - The Cuillin. Ray's intimate local knowledge of these mountains, his enthusiasm, and sociable nature, have made him one of Skye's most popular guides.
As a client, whether you are an individual, a collection of friends, or a corporate group looking for adventure, you can relax, leave the navigation and any necessary rope-work to your guide, and just enjoy the mountains, the mountain environment, and most importantly yourself, in company with an experienced leader. All clients are encouraged to build on their existing skills and are introduced to the good practice of safe movement on steep terrain. Many clients who have "bagged" a Munro, completed a course of mountain scrambles, or traversed the Cuillin ridge have come back again to both tackle the harder routes that the Cuillin offer and to explore them independently.

• Skye Walking Holidays - Considering a walking, rambling or hiking holiday in Scotland? look no further! Skye is a walker's paradise. Our unique holidays combine gentle guided walks in dramatic unspoiled scenery with special experiences of the Isle of Skye.
More than anything, this is a HOLIDAY in the remote & timeless beauty of the Trotternish Peninsula, North Skye. There are no exhausting route marches and we take things at a sensible 'Skye pace' with the emphasis on enjoyment and safe, gentle exercise.
The holiday programmes vary to allow for the weather; it is often said that the weather on Skye can change three times a day! We therefore take advantage of good weather for walking in the hills, making coastal walks and enjoying activities & visits at other times.
Each evening, your guide will discuss the planned events for the next day.
