MY FAVORITE PLACE TO VISIT AND PHOTOGRAPH.
Hi Melchior! One of my faves too, and for the same reason! Its hard to take a bad photo here with the incredible landscape and light!
My husband and I are planning a trip to Scotland soon. I came across this article recently and it has been incredibly helpful during this planning stage. We will definitely include a visit to Skye. It looks fabulous.
I am delighted that you enjoyed the article and found it useful! Skye is truly magnificent and I know you’ll enjoy it!!!
Wow. What a great article. I wish I had known about it before my friends went there;
it would have proven endlessly helpful! I don’t plan on visiting that area for a bit but I will surely use all of your recommendations when I do!
So glad this piece on the Isle of Skye struck a chord! I always think its meaningful and useful to understand the connection between people and their cultural landscape! Thanks for commenting!
The Sky Boat Song, along with Loch Lomond, is the most famous Scottish song. The tune seems to go with the landscape.
Thanks Cervantes! This song was new news to me! Indeed, it definitely conjurs up the landscape of Skye perfectly! Thanks for sharing!
Wow… I loved reading this article. Many of my ancestors are from Scotland. This is one place I have always wanted to visit. In fact I had a planned trip with my girlfriends, when the pandemic hit and we were forced to cancel. Now that I have read about your visit and seen the gorgeous pictures, this is definitely going to be put back on my ‘bucket’ list again. Thank you for sharing!
Carol I am delighted this piece inspired you to revisit a previous travel dream! The Isle of Skye is really magical and a great place to visit with your gal pals! I hope you go and enjoy it to the max!
