  Travel in Isle of Skye

Travel in Isle of Skye The Isle of Skye lies on Europe's Atlantic fringe, off the north-west coast of Scotland. It is the largest of the islands that make up the Scottish Hebrides, and arguably the most recognizable from its distinctive outline. The communities of the Island of Skye have a long-established connection with those on the adjacent mainland area of Lochalsh. The entire area, for commercial and administrative purposes, has come to be known as Skye and Lochalsh. Included in the Skye and Lochalsh area are the inhabited islands of Raasay, Rona, Fladda, Scalpay, Pabay, and Soay and is blessed by warm ocean currents from the Atlantic which keep the weather temperate even in winter time. The people of Skye and Lochalsh have links to many cultures both ancient and modern. The iron-age Picts, the early Christian Celts, the invading Norse and Scots have all made their mark upon the indigenous population which has in recent years been augmented by English, Europeans, and people from farther afield.
