Isle of Skye - The Misty Isle of Scotland
The Isle of Skye, meaning "Island of the Mist" in Gaelic, is the largest and northernmost island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, and one of Scotland's most legendary destinations. It boasts stunning natural landscapes: jagged mountains, deep gorges, spectacular waterfalls, and captivating coastlines, each scene a vision of mythology.

It's a photographer's dream, a hiker's paradise, and a perfect place to find inner peace. From the colorful houses of Portry to the ancient stone walls of Dunwegan Castle, every corner of the Isle of Skye exudes a unique charm.
