Sounds great Donnie.
Kyle to Uig is pretty much the busiest road in Skye, not really a big deal but quite busy July to August, not so much after portree. Sligachan is the obvious campsite on route, glenbrittle is worth the addition 10 mile detour. If you make that detour you could visit the Dunn at Struan, consider the most complete on the isle. Then climb over to portree.
My advice for the north west is always April and May , no midges, normally pretty dry. Bit late now I know, but sounds an excellent adventure. GL!
Thanks for the info - I am cheating a bit as my Granny lives near Talisker so I will be making a detour to stay in a bed for the night

Yes, I've been to Glenbrittle and it is incredible - the camp site has amazing views and the Fairy pools just before there are phenomenal! The only part of the route I am a little concerned about is Kyle to Sligachan due to the road and the traffic. I've cycled it before but it gets a little disconcerting with traffic whizzing past after a while.
I never even knew about the Dun at Struan! - Thanks for that

Your own country least travelled etc etc...
