Skye’s My Limit

A venture around the beautiful island and its volatile weather

Skye is a must see portion of Scotland. It’s the northern western island that fronts the Atlantic Ocean. The island is inhabited by few people and after experiencing it, I can understand why. The weather was somewhat brutal and changing. Clouds move rapidly and the weather shifts momentarily, at least during my experience. Also there isn’t much other than you and nature, so it may take a ’survivor’ to actually find the rewards of living there. What you will find on Skye is a great appreciation for nature as cliffs confront the ocean. I found it very interesting how Skye is obviously damp, yet the botany on some portions of the island can look somewhat desert-like. Although people find time to spend weeks of their life on Skye, I was short of this time so renting a car with another macbackpacker, Adrian from Australia, was the best option to introduce me to this ‘talked-about’ place.

Skye was very wet during January. I’d suggest going when it’s warm and sunny.
