"John Bailey's informative and well-researched book, Skye, provides an insight into the magical places to explore and savour on the Isle of Skye" Hugh MacLeod of MacLeod. This is an essential companion for both visitors and locals. Skye is a beautiful island of cliff-rimmed promontories, tranquil sea lochs, rolling moorland and majestic mountains. Add to the breathtaking scenery a brutal and sometimes-bloody history, a land where myths and legends are plentiful, and you have a mysterious, romantic land that, once visited, will remain in your heart forever. Unexpectedly larger than most assume, Skye boasts over 360 miles of diverse, awe-inspiring coastline. The book takes a journey of discovery around this enchanting isle, visiting many of the most surreal landscapes to be found anywhere in the British Isles. Included are historical sites such as Dunvegan Castle, the oldest continually inhabited castle in Britain. Details are noted of the islands past history, the 18th and 19th centuries feature as the most turbulent. Most, if not all, have heard of Bonnie Prince Charlie and his association to Skye; few know how he was pursued by government forces but never betrayed by the Highlanders. For the first-time visitor the book will be invaluable, the sheer diversity of the landscape and historical locations can provide one with a quandary of where to visit. Most come for a week, but I would recommend staying a wee while longer to set aside time to fully appreciate this beautiful isle off the north-west coast of Scotland. The new book will provide you with an excellent summation before you arrive, it will be a precious companion while you are here and a lasting reminder of the beautiful isle when you have departed, almost certain with a yearning to return one day.

Excerpt from The Misty Isle of Skye, Its Scenery, Its People, Its Story Exiled From Skye. The sun shines on the ocean, And the heavens are blue and high, But the clouds hang grey and lowering O'er the misty Isle of Skye. I hear the blue-bird singing, And the starling's mellow cry, But I love the peewit's screaming In the distant Isle of Skye. The trees are grand and lofty, And the grass grows sweet and high, But I long to see the heather In the purple Isle of Skye. The streams are broad and stately, And the meadows fertile lie, But I hear the streamlets leaping Down the rocky glens of Skye. There's a singing in the cornfields As the breeze goes whispering by, But I love the bracken's rustle On the lonely hills of Skye. And I'd rather hear the music, When my time may come to die, Of the wind among the corries In the far-off Isle of Skye. M. J.
