Where We Ate (and Walked) on Skye — A Slow Food Diary
From langoustines in Carbost to pudding in Portree, here’s our walk-eat-repeat route across Scotland’s Isle of Skye.
Skye gave us moody skies, quiet trails, and food that somehow made us feel even more at home. This wasn’t a foodie tour. It just turned out that every time we went for a walk, we ended up somewhere worth sitting down and eating.
The Oyster Shed — Seafood at the source
Up a narrow road above Carbost sits The Oyster Shed. We found scallops, langoustines, and a view over Loch Harport that made us stay longer than planned.
The Old Inn — Our nightly ritual
This pub in Carbost became a kind of home base. After wet walks and long days, we landed here again and again. Haggis, sticky toffee pudding, a rotating specials board — we never once ordered wrong.
We weren’t expecting our favourite scallops to come from the supermarket. But they did. Co-op in Broadford had fresh hand-dived scallops we pan-fried with butter and salt. No need for a restaurant.
Every walk had a meal at the end
This wasn’t a planned food tour. But it became one. From short hikes to scenic lunch stops, we packed light and kept moving.
Our expandable backpack handled it all—layers, snacks, even a takeaway box or two. We didn’t plan for Skye to be a food destination. But it was. And we’re not mad about it.
