Welcome to The Skye Guide

The Skye Guide is an independent and personal view of the Isle of Skye. It is written mainly with visitors to the island in mind, but I hope it is useful to residents and potential residents as well.
I have chosen to make my home on the island, so my views are not impartial - but neither are they uncritical. Places are mentioned in the guide mostly because I like them and because I think you might.  If a place is not included, it may be because I would not recommend it to you, but equally it may be because I have not yet experienced it.

I am happy with that ambiguity...
