Skye, Highland

Skye, Highland - Mountains and uplands
The Isle of Skye, commonly known as Skye, is the largest and northernmost of the major islands in the Inner Hebrides. The island's peninsulas radiate from a mountainous centre dominated by the Black Cuillin and the Red Cuillin, the rocky slopes of which provide some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the UK. Although it has been suggested that the Gaelic name An t-Eilean Sgitheanach describes a winged shape there is no definitive agreement as to the name's origins.
