The main route to Skye is via the Skye Bridge (now toll-free!) at Kyle of Lochalsh. This is approached from the south via the A87 from Invergarry, Cluanie, and Shiel Bridge.

Once on Skye, the A87, a generally good road, continues north to Portree, and then on to the ferry terminal at Uig (crossing point to North Uist and Harris).

For those who prefer to cross to Skye "over the water", there is a traditional ferry crossing from Glenelg to Kylerhea. This is reached by leaving the A87 at Shiel Bridge and taking the minor road via Mam Ratagan. This ferry is seasonal and does not operate during winter.

From the south, Skye can also be reached from Fort William and Mallaig, using the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry service from Mallaig to Armadale.

Rail access to Skye can be achieved by taking the train from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh, from where there are regular bus services to Portree.

There are coach links to Skye and Portree from many parts of mainland Scotland.
