Description


Skye is located in Highland

Skye or the Isle of Skye (/sk/; Scottish Gaelic: An t-Eilean Sgitheanach or Eilean a' Cheò) is the largest and most northerly large island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland.[Note 1] The island's peninsulas radiate from a mountainous centre dominated by the Cuillin hills, the rocky slopes of which provide some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the country.[8] Although it has been suggested that the Gaelic Sgitheanach describes a "winged" shape there is no definitive agreement as to the name's origins. The climate is mild, wet and windy.
