\"Northern<\/figure>
\n

Your visit to Skye…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll find the pace of life very different here on Skye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk along quiet lanes and single track roads without crowds and traffic. Explore footpaths, listen to the birds singing, see lambs being born in the springtime, watch the rain clouds gather, then look for the glorious rainbows. See buzzards, and sea eagles, waterfalls by the roadside, breathtaking sunsets, and sunrises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And of course the aurora borealis,-the Northern lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring your camera. There is so much to see and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are just a few of our favourite places to visit. We’re sure you’ll love them too.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
