Skye is an island attached to Scotland by a bridge. It has the reputation of being the prettiest of the scottish islands. Not unreasonably either but a little diminished in the cloudy conditions.
There is no question it is a bleak place. Sheep line and wander the roads, which while narrow are in good order and serving a suprising number of homes. How these people survive in the winter is interesting but ideal if solitude is enjoyable.
I was obliged to visit the Tasker distillery as this was the only whiskey distillery I did visit in a land where they flourish. In fact some suggest there are about 50 of them.
Another chance meeting with a couple of local bikers on the ferry back to the mainland saw me ride toward Oban and just short of the town found a waterside pub. It was a quaint little spot called the Glue Pot.

About Me
- Kris Kent
- Travel it is said broadens the mind, so I set off to explore. To this traveler it seems the world changed at the turn of this century and has deteriorated rapidly since. So unless the trend is reversed the world will become unsafe not just for travelers, but for all of us. A new accountability, a new morality, is needed, no, demanded.
