What are you some good crags for top rope soloing around Skye?
I will be doing some travelling around Skye and the west coast, unfortunately with none climbers. I'm looking for spots that are favourable to some top rope soloing so I can get my fix.
The Sonamara sector at Neist has extremely easy access to the top and has plenty of short climbs on dolerite. Great views too.
If you don't mind a reasonable walk in then China Crag has a number of short routes you could scramble to the top of. Good quality gabbro en route to the Cioch Slabs.
Kilt Rock, Staffin and Staffin Slips are absolutely amazing for this. Long, excellent, straight up lines, perfect for TR soloing. Belays are often stakes quite well back, so you don't even need to take any rack for most things. I've had some joyous days TR soloing there - you get to do a lot more climbing than swinging leads! The only thing I would say is that Kilt in particular is quite intimidating on first acquaintance.
...another thing to add to that is that the routes are right next to each other and often use the same anchors, so it's minimal faff to re-rig. I think I've done 300m+ of sustained vertical climbing there in a few hours.
