The purpose of this blog is to publish some of our pictures of the Isle of Skye, Scotland. We lay no claim to these being great photographs - they are just pictures of what we see, taken with ordinary compact cameras. We hope you enjoy browsing.

Skye High

This post is of some of the summit views I have photographed from the hills that surround us at Roskhill. The highest is Healabhal Bheag at just 488 metres... so no great feats of mountaineering required to reach these peaks - mostly just a slog through bog and heather - but still a huge sense of achievement for 'getting to the top' ... and just imagine the silence...!

    I don't think I'd get up even this height these days so thank you for the beautiful views.

      Thank you Julie. Also be thankful that, all over Skye, we have stunning views from sea-level too!
