Crasg

4.7(27 reviews)

About

In Isle of Skye, Crasg occupies a spot on an unnamed road in IV47 8SW, a viewpoint rather than a building. Walkers know it as a stop on the route described at walkhighlands.co.uk, a hill path that looks out over the island's interior. First-time visitors should come prepared for rough ground and changeable weather, with proper footwear and a map.

A 4.7 out of 5 average from 27 reviews suggests those who make the climb are well satisfied. Reaching the start point means driving from Portree, Broadford, Dunvegan, Kyleakin, Armadale, Sligachan, Elgol or Staffin, and the approach roads are single-track in places. The walk itself takes several hours and rewards the effort with views across the island's interior.

English is the main language, with Welsh on Anglesey and Scottish Gaelic on some Hebridean islands. British islands are reached by car ferries, passenger ferries and, in some cases, scheduled flights. Summer brings long daylight hours and crowded ferries; winter sailings are often cancelled by weather, so plan crossings with a margin.

For anyone staying on the island, the viewpoint sits within reach of Portree and Broadford, the two main bases for supplies. Scottish Gaelic survives on some Hebridean islands, though English serves for everyday directions and place names. Ferries and, in some cases, scheduled flights link the British islands, and summer daylight stretches late into the evening.
