Isle of Skye, Scotland Photographs from the Isle of Skye, Scotland, May 2008

Here are some photos taken from our trip to the Isle of Skye in late May 2008. These photos were mostly taken on the Cuillin Ridge with some on surrounding hills such as Clac Glass and Bla Bheinn.

See this page for other photos taken around the home of Gavin Maxwell, author of several books including Ring of Bright Water.
