Where Myths Are Made

Paul explores the lochs of Skye, hears tales of legendary battles, has a lesson in how to throw a spear, discovers a Viking ship canal and stands on the roof of the Cuillins.

Paul explores the lochs of Skye. He hears tales of the singer Donovan and his dream of a hippy colony, thrills at the sound of the pipes, tries on a jacket fit for a king and goes in search of a Viking ship canal. After learning about the mythical female Celtic warrior and sorceress Scáthach, Paul has a lesson in spear-throwing, before tackling one of the longest rock climbs in the Cuillin Mountains – the Dubhs Ridge. Journey’s end is one of the finest mountain views in Scotland.
