Nestled between the Isle of Skye and the Scottish mainland, the Isle of Raasay is an ideal single day challenge. The route is long enough to provide a good challenge, but doesn't take a huge chunk out of your life. Raasay also has enough tide to require good planning, and of course it is endowed with spectacular views.
