Lealt

Lealt, Highland, Scotland

10.64 KM

A there-and-back trek from Lealt inland to Loch Cuithir on the east coast of the Isle of Skye. As you can see from the pictures, this was a pretty wet and rainy walk, but that made for some dramatic looking landscapes beneath the dark skies. At the end of the walk we crossed the road to the Lealt Falls viewing platform.
