Elgol
Elgol is a village on the south coast of Skye.
Elgol is 14 miles south-west of Broadford at the tip of the Strathaird peninsula, reached by a dramatic road through the Red Cuillins with superb views.
You can take a boat from Elgol across Loch Scavaig to the entrance of Loch Coruisk (meaning 'cauldron of water') - a glacial loch nearly two miles long but only a couple of hundred yards wide, lying in the shadow of the highest peaks of the Black Cuillin. There are lots of hikes from Elgol, along the coast or into both the Red and Black Cuillins.
