The Isle of Skye, which often
has the appearance of a fantasy novel illustration that has come alive, is a
beautiful part of Scotland. There are currently about 9,232 people living
there, though the transient population of tourists swells during the busy
summer months. It’s not hard to see why — who could resist the stunning
scenery, with its vast emerald plains, playful rivers, rough mountains, and
wild flower meadows?
