Skye is the largest island in the group of islands known as the Hebrides off the West Coast of Scotland. Its rugged terrain makes it a mecca for walkers and mountaineers. On a fine day, it can be one of the most picturesque places on this planet, with unmatched coastal scenery comprising cliffs, coves and stacks. In the southwest of the island lie the Cuillins, one of the most famous mountain ranges in Britain.
