New research by GO Outdoors ranked the best places in the UK for romantic camping and crowned the Isle of Skye as the number one destination for couples camping in Scotland.
The Isle of Skye is based in the Highland council area and recently the Highlands were put in National Geographic’s ‘Best of the World 2023’ list, making it an ideal location for any couple seeking to enjoy breathtaking scenery.
Here are ten beautiful natural locations from the Isle of Skye that will inspire you and your partner to visit for a camping trip.

. Kilt Rock
These ancient cliffs are composed of sea-weathered basalt columns that, with their multitude of colours, appear to resemble a kilt and its tartan for some. The cliffs' waterfall, Mealt Falls, sees a 55-metre drop into the sea. Photo: Peter Luxem via Canva Pro
