The Isle of Skye, which lies off the west coast of Scotland, is a magnificent location for photography with a wonderful variety of landscapes awaiting the visitor. |
| Rising straight out of the sea to a height of over three thousand feet, and often shrouded in mist which adds to their mystique, the Cuillin mountains are regarded by many as the finest in Britain. |

 |
The fantastic pinnacles of the Storr and the Quiraing are one of the natural wonders of Scotland. |
| In addition to the natural landscape, Skye has many man-made features that are worthy of interest. These include standing stones, brochs and many ruined buildings and deserted settlements - relics of the 19th century Clearances. |

Skye also offers great opportunities for the wildlife enthusiast. Otters can often be observed from our house and grounds, together with many species of sea birds. |
| The Island flora is extremely diverse and includes ancient oak, ash and birch woodland.

 |
Freshwater lochans, coastal rock-pools, rugged cliffs and sandy beaches are all found on the Island, and offer almost limitless possibilities for exploration with the camera. |
| But above all it is the magical light, created by the ever-changing weather, that makes Skye such a rewarding experience for landscape photographers. |
