Sing me a song of a dreamy moor,
Where the maids at the shieling spin:
Lull me to sleep by the peat fire smoor,
When the soft night closes in.

New Historic Environment Resource

Highland council has launched a new web resource with a huge amount of information on local historic sites, including some great stuff for Skye.  The map interface is probably the easiest way to access it.

General 

The Skye Guide is written and maintained by John Allan. It is designed primarily to be of value to visitors to Skye. As such, the concentration of information is around those things that visitors are most likely to value, though many sections will be helpful to people who live on Skye, or who are planning to do so.

I am one of Skye's incomers. I have known the island for over thirty years but have lived here permanently only since 2005. The guide mostly covers those things of which I have personal experience.  It is always work in progress and will be added to, subtracted from and changed from time to time. Check back!

Opinions

 I have tried to keep a clear distinction beween fact and opinion throughout the guide. I hope it is clear where one ends and the other begins. The opinions expressed are mine and I hope they have value for you - but please don't treat them as facts. Your opinion may differ.

And do let me know what your opinions are. Perhaps places I've missed that you think are worth including in the guide. Perhaps you disagree with me. Fire away .

Software

The Skye Guide is developed using Joomla!  -  a free, opensource software released under the GNU/GPL Licence.

I have developed The Skye Guide using the Mozilla Firefox browser. It is mostly OK in other browsers, I think...
