Mackenzies Peak...The Legend

John Mackenzie was born in 1856 in Sconser on the Isle of Skye, in fact on the very spot Mackenzies Peak self-catering apartment stands on today. Being born so close to the Cuillin Mountain range it wasn’t long before the young John started to explore, eventually conquering Sgurr nan Gilleon at the tender age of 10! John Mackenzie became a professional guide before long and was the first Scot to do so. For over 50 years John Mackenzie worked as a guide and now has a Cuillin peak named after him, Sgurr Mhic Counnich or Mackenzies Peak. After a lifetime on the mountains, John Mackenzie died in 1933 leaving the legacy of Mackenzies Peak for all to enjoy.
