Worth knowing
Rated low for the short walk to the castle stump. The drive is the exposed part: single track, blind summits, and unbarriered drops. Don't take a wide vehicle.

Dun Caan, Raasay hill not safe
Raasay's flat-topped summit: the Cuillin one way, the Torridon hills the other. Boswell danced here.
Not safe on the tops — 50 mph up there, and they'll be in cloud
Isle of Raasay Distillery place any weather
Ten minutes from the ferry: tours, a Cuillin view from the bar, and rooms if you miss the boat.
Not weather-dependent
