Can't recommend this highly enough! Mitch is such a great 'host' - we went fly fishing for my birthday. Mitch took a couple of novices and taught us fly fishing technique in a couple of hours.

Mitchell is an extremely knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic hiking guide. We spent a full day with him walking on Skye and learning about the wildlife and history of the island.

Fishing

Seasonal fly-fishing tuition and guiding in idyllic locations; assisting clients in their quest for the iconic wild Scottish salmon or wild brown trout and sea trout.

Whatever your level of experience, Skye Ghillie will advise on the best flies for the location and conditions, the intricacies of casting and where the fish are to be found.

Skye Fishing

Stalking

A unique opportunity to stalk deer (with a camera or rifle) in and around the dramatic mountains and the north of the island where a sustainable deer management programme maintains an abundant population of Red and Roe deer depending on the season.

Skye Ghillie will coach novices and share his skills and experience with all.

Skye Stalking

Wild Walks

Spring or winter, rain or shine, explore Skye’s unspoilt wilderness and wildlife – see Otters, Sea Eagles, Seals, Porpoise and Red Deer.

Forage for wild snacks and build a fire for a spot of Bog Myrtle tea, learning about the history of island life along the way (from a time when Skye was inhabited by dinosaurs through the Viking occupation, the rise and fall of The Clans up to the time of the notorious Highland Clearances).

Skye Wild Walks

Foraging

Discover delicious, edible plants, fungi, seaweed and shellfish in Skye’s beautiful woodland, along it’s shoreline and across the hills.

There’s plenty to forage all year-round, if you know what to look for of course. Skye Ghillie will share his knowledge and his passion for this free wild food source.

Skye Foraging

Family Adventures

Hands on days that will keep the whole family entertained (don’t tell the kids, but they might learn some pretty cool stuff too).
