Situated off the West coast of Mainland Scotland, the isle of Skye is the largest and best
known of the Inner Hebrides. Sometimes referred to in Gaelic poetry and song as Eilean
a' Cheņ (The Misty Isle), Skye is renown for its natural beauty, history and wildlife.
The island has been occupied since the Mesolithic and has a colourful history including
a time of Norse rule and a long period of domination by clans Leod and Donald.
At 1,656 km² (639 mi²), Skye is the second-largest island in Scotland after Lewis and
Harris. The coastline of Skye is a series of peninsulas and bays radiating out from
a centre dominated by the Cuillin hills. The main peninsulas include Trotternish in the
north, Waternish, Duirinish, Minginish and Strathaird to the west and Sleat in the south.
Surrounding islands include Isay, Longay, Pabay, Raasay, Rona, Scalpay, Soay and
Wiay. The Black Cuillin, which are mainly composed of basalt and gabbro, include
12 Munros and provide some of the most dramatic and challenging mountain terrain
in Scotland. Trotternish is underlain by basalt, which provides relatively rich soils
and a variety of unusual rock features. The Kilt Rock is named for the tartan-like patterns
in the 105 metre cliffs and its spectacular waterfall. The Quiraing is a spectacular
series of rock pinnacles on the eastern side of the main spine of the peninsula and
further south is the rock pillar of the old Man of Storr. Lochs Bracadale and Harport
lie between Duirinish and Minginish which includes the narrow glens of Talisker and
Brittle and whose beaches are formed from black basaltic sands.
Of all the variety of Highland landforms, the mountain profiles of Skye create the
strongest sense of awe, and they have drawn visitors to the island for a very long time.
Skye is joined to the mainland by the Skye Bridge at Kyle of Lochalsh and it also has
two mainland ferry connections from Mallaig and Glenelg, the latter summer only.
For those who have never ventured to the island in winter, the weather will most likely surprise you, with both wild stormy days and tranquil frosty ones equally likely. Inspirationally low sunlight days are perfect for the photographic minded where low light adds drama and beauty to the picturescape. We will be visiting most of these places and try to catch as much beauty as we can during our tour.
Our accommodation will be a luxyry holiday cottage with spectacular views of the Cuillin hills. For more info click here.
