Isle of Skye Bridge

The road leading through the West Highlands of Scotland twist and wind, and at many times can barely support 40mph travel.  The mountains and lochs greet you as leave the lowlands and enter one of the most beautiful places on earth.

After quite a long, arduous trip, you know that you are ‘almost there’ when you see the long, narrow Isle of Skye bridge.  If it’s a windy day, there could be warnings of keeping your speed under control.  But unless you’re driving a large delivery truck or camper van, the national speed limit will be fine.   Just like most all the roads in the Highlands of Scotland, use some common sense  - and Enjoy The View!

Sunset on Skye

There are dozens of good places to get great shots, but they rarely turn out this amazing.  I think the framing of flowers in the foreground and mountains in the back are part of what makes this such a great shot.  The vivid colours and ominous clouds are the icing on the cake!

Though there are a good many rainy days on the Isle of Skye, you’ll seldom clouds such as these.  If you have any lovely photos that you would like to share, be sure to use our contact form and give us a shout…
