 Skye
The Cuillins of Skye are famous the world over but Skye has
much else to offer, from the little crofting townships of the
Sleat peninsula with their modern university, to the bustling
town of Portree. In the north the weird rock formations of Trotternish,
the Quiraing and the Old Man of Storr, are some of the oddest
and most dramatic sights in Scotland; while to the West lies
Dunvegan, Talisker and much else besides. Rich in history and
archaeology this is an exploration of one of the worlds most
famous islands, celebrated in poetry and song. Few know it better
than Cailean Maclean whose family's roots in the area go back
generations. Skye

 Landscapes
of the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye (Sunflower Landscapes
S.)
Stephen Whitehorne is one of Scotland's best-known photographer,
authors, and this book brings to life some of the most breathtaking
scenery in the British Isles. Stephen has explored every nook
and cranny of the Highlands and Skye as well as the mountaintops.
The Highlands are one of Europe's last great wilderness areas,
one of the few remaining landscapes where genuine solitude can
be sought and where the luxuries of silence and space abound.
While the tourist boards tend to perpetuate the myths of kilt
and bagpipe, the Loch Ness monster and romantic Medieval castles,
most people visit Scotland for the reality for the beauty and
great diversity of its scenery, to discover remote lochs, atmospheric
glens and dramatic mountains. The car tours, picnics and walks
in this book will allow you to discover the very best the Highlands
have to offer, whether from your seat in the car, out on a short
stroll or committed to an energetic mountain hike. The photographic
images in this book all of calendar quality will whet your appetite
and remain a wonderful souvenir of your holiday in the Highlands.
Best months for walking: May to September 11 Car tours, 40 walks,
12 picnics Fold-out touring map.
The
Magic of Wester Ross and Skye
Formed of ancient sediments and volcanic outpourings, then sculpted
by ice into a mosaic of mountain, loch and sea, the landscape
of the region is as weird as it is wonderful. Blessed with a
climate where moisture and light combine with infinite variety
and contrast, this is paradise for the dedicated photographer.
The heart of the North West Highlands, Wester Ross encompasses
the open hill country of Kintail, the exquisite beauties of
Lochalsh and Plockton, the bold peninsula of Applecross, the
mountain castles of Torridon and the extensive coastal fringe
with its remote headlands, sandy beaches and scattered settlements.
The region terminates in the gaunt hills of Coigach and the
bristly ridge of Stac Pollaidh. Ever-present in its seaward
views, the Isle of Skye has a romantic attachment for people
throughout the world, captivated by its colourful history and
desolate beauty.
