Skye is a patchwork quilt of contrasting scenes, from the staggeringly high cliffs dropping to the sea at Moonen bay, to the gentle sands at Ashaig where you might catch a razor clam when the tide is out, with the high,rounded hills beyond Broadford behind you. In Trottarnish is a chain of hills, smooth on one side, sheer dropsand tortured jagged rocks on the other, where you can see across the Sound of Raasay to distant massive Mountains called Liathach and Beinn Alligean.
At Taliskeir is a beach reminscent of Tahiti (pity the climate usually isn't): and along a rocky coast is Coruisg, that cauldron of gabbro whose walls are up to three thousand feet high, where Victorian tourists came to meditate on the word 'sublime'. And when you leave, go by the narrow twisting road to Kylerhea - you might, briefly, think you were in the Himalayas, before arriving at the sloping concrete ferry slip and the narrow strait across to Glenelg, through which strong tidal currents sluice.

My fav Scottish Island is Isle of Bute,Its only just over an hour from Glasgow By train to wemyss bay Then short ferry across to Rothesay,The island lies on the Highland/Lowland boundary,You can start playing golf in the lowlands and finish up in the Highlands.The scenery is spectacular,The Grand Vicyorian House of Stuart.And the Folk are very freindly,The peace n quiet and only the hour from Glasgow Scotlands largest city,And Glasgow itself is Amazing for shopping the buzz and beutiful buildings With its Brilliant Subway system,
