All the discussion about the Crown aside, I would like to point out that by many people’s reckoning, the Isle of Skye is the most beautiful spot in Scotland. It’s certainly one of my favorite spots and I would tend to agree with the assessment- although I have a soft spot for Wester Ross (area just south of Ullapool) as well.

If you ever visit Scotland, don’t just go to Edinburgh and Ft William. Definitely, definitely drive over to Skye and check it out. Stay a night or two. Drive all the way round the island. It’s worth it.

The walk to Loch Corruisk is worth is as well (as long as you’re there)

Does Skye have a distillery?

And definitely make your way up to Oban and taste the Scottish whiskey. Try some of the Islay malts, too. mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm! I loooove those smoky malts. Hubby prefers the Highland or Lowland single malts, but I love the Islays.
