mountains in Europe and are considered to
be the most dramatic mountain range in Britain. Skye
is an idyllic location to explore the romantic Hebridean Isles and their turbulent Celt, Norse and Scottish heritage all of
which have influenced the evolution of this magical region. Portree is the capital of Skye and its' name comes from
the Gaelic Port-an-Righ which translates as "King's Port".

Skye is the biggest island in the Inner Hebrides and travelling
there has been made much more convenient by the introduction of the modern toll free road bridge connecting the island to
the main land at the Kyle
of Lochalsh. However
for those looking for a more traditional crossing the ferry from Mallaig is still a most enjoyable option.
