  • Isle of Skye

    Isle of Skye
    The misty isle, Skye is full of romance and myth, lush gardens and steep, magnetic mountains (a compass is useless in the Cuillin Mountains). It ranks near the top of most visitors' must-see lists. Skye is dramatic, mysterious, and mountainous, an island of sunsets that linger brilliantly until late at night, and of beautiful, magical mists.
