I've always viewed Skye as the Highlands on steroids! Everything has to be bigger and better. No such thing as a straightforward Munro, oh no not here - knotty ridges that don't want to end, vertiginous drops, plenty of hand to rock and generous hand fulls of exposure. A bay can't be a simple arc of sand it has to be an ampitheatre of mountain architecture. And the list goes on. To illustrate the geography of Skye, I think of it as a hand - that is the middle as Portree and Broadford, where people live and work, the Cuillin hills are also in the 'hand'. But then there are five peninsulars, like fingers - respectively: Sleat, Strathair, Duirnish, Waternish and Trotternish. Each of these 'fingers' have a different personality, almost like a different island, with the 'hand of Skye' unifying the whole. So please allow me to take you on a photographic tour around the hand ... of the Isle of Skye. near the Point of Sleat an old causeway ...
