Postcard The Isle of Skye

The Island of Skye, situated off the West coast of Mainland Scotland, is the largest and best known of the Inner Hebrides.

One of the largest and best known Scottish islands, Skye is particularly famous for its mountain scenery. Many people come here to climb or walk in the Cuillin and the Quiraing. Quite an expanding population since the early 1990s, now there are over 9000 people living on the island.

Sometimes described as 'The Isle of Mists under the Shadow of Great Mountains', the Isle of Skye is the largest of the Inner Hebrides group. The Cuillin Hills from the backbone of the island and the coastline is deeply indented by sea-lochs forming rocky peninsulas.
