Archaeology of Skye and the Western...
Isles. The study of the archaeology of Skye and the Western

Setting the Hebrides alongside better-known regions of Britain,
this book brings out the key features of Hebridean archaeology,
from the impressive Callanish stones and the great ritual monuments
of the Neolithic, the broch towers and wheelhouses of the Iron
Age, to the arrival of the Norse, and the Lords of the Isles.
The book also explores the history of human settlement and society
in these islands, from the first hunter-gatherers to the Clearances.
The
Isle of Skye: A Walker's Guide (A...
Cicerone Guide.) The Isle of Skye is the most scenically awe-inspiring
of Scotland's many islands: a place of elemental forces which
man has barely scratched. This new edition continues the tradition
of the first by visiting all corners of the island as well as
the Cuillin. Updated and in full colour with extensive photographs
and maps, it includes hard, demanding days, often in wonderfully
isolated locations. It is however a walking, not a climbing,
guide, and skills required are up to straightforward scrambling,
but some walks can be demanding and arduous.

History
of the Railways of the Scottish...
Highlands: Skye Railway v. 5 (Railways of the Scottish Highlands)
The railway to Sky between Inverness and Kyle of Lochalsh has
a fascinating and noble past. The narrative in this volume begins
in the days when arrogant feudal overlords fought like fury
to keep the railways out of the glens, and ends with the line's
devoted public fighting just as determinedly to prevent its
closure. There was action and incident in plenty along the 63
mile line that connects the eastern and western seas across
one of Scotland's most remote and beautiful regions; not least
in the way in which a confidence trickster relieved the board
of a ferry and escaped with it to Australia! Using many hitherto
untapped sources, the author unfolds the story of the Skye railway
in a detail not seen before.
The
Islands (Pocket Mountains).
Forty circular hill routes on the islands off the west coast
of Scotland (Skye, Arran, Islay, Jura, Mull, Eigg, Rum, Raasay,
Harris and the Uists), complete with contoured maps, colour
photography and local information – all packed into a
convenient pocket-sized format. Routes vary from easygoing half-day
treks to longer expeditions over multiple tops.
