Fully revised new edition of the only comprehensive guide to
Scotland's Western Isles, which include Skye, Lewis, Harris, Uist,
Iona, Jura, Islay and Arran. These enchanting islands reward the
visitor with a rich variety of terrain and wildlife from the stark
beauty of the Cuillin mountains of Skye to the raging seas off the
Butt of Lewis or the palm trees of Arran. Skye & The Western
Isles gives information on how to get the best out of a trip to the
islands with descriptions of the best walks and climbs, castles and
blackhouses, the history and culture, the liveliest music and folk
festivals and ceilidhs and the finest food and drink, as well as
full advice on how to get there by boat or air. It explains how you
can locate the cave where Robert the Bruce watched his spider,
discover if you are related to a Hebridean family, or take a flight
to Barra that lands on the beach. The Western Isles are a haven for
nature lovers: you can spot otters, seals, whales, dolphins,
porpoises and basking sharks; discover Lapland marsh orchids,
Norwegian sandwort, sundew, bog asphodel, and purple saxifrage; or
find a bird reserve on North Uist renowned for rare corncrakes.
Those of an active disposition can fish for trout and giant skate
or climb a Munro on Mull where your compass needle points south,
while those with more indulgent interests can tour seven different
whisky distilleries on Islay or sample heather ale on Skye brewed
from an old Pictish recipe.
