Lonely Planet verdict: Isle of Skye
"Skye is a 50-mile stretch of velvet hills, impressive mountains, and superb castles, all trapped within a dramatic coastline ... Visitors swarm here in summer and walkers flood the magnificent and imposing Cuillin Hills ... You can easily escape the hordes, however, by veering from the main roads, where you will discover that nearly half of Skye's residents speak Gaelic ... Come prepared for changeable weather - when it's nice it's very nice, but it often isn't! Skye's name comes from an old Norse word for cloud"
