MACCULLOCH EDINBURGH AND LONDON OLIPHANT ANDERSON & FERRIER 1905 Jerusalem, Athens, and Rome, I would see them before I die ! But I'd rather not see any one of the three, 'Plan be exiled for ever from Skye ! " Lovest thou mountains great, Peaks to the clouds that soar, Corrie and fell where eagles dwell, And cataracts dash evermore? Lovest thou green grassy glades. By the sunshine sweetly kist, Murmuring waves, and echoing caves? Then go to the Isle of Mist." Sheriff Nicolson. DA 15 To MACLEOD OF MACLEOD, C.M.G. Dear MacLeod, It is fitting that I should dedicate this book to you. You have been interested in its making and in its publica- tion, and how fiattering that is to an author s vanity / And what chief is there who is so beloved of his clansmen all over the world as you, or whose fiame is such a household word in dear old Skye as is yours ? A book about Skye should recognise these things, and so I inscribe your name on this page. Your Sincere Friend, THE A UTHOR. 8G54S7 EXILED FROM SKYE. The sun shines on the ocean, And the heavens are bhie 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 t4eve the peewit's screaming In the distant Isle of Skye.

Marsco and Red Cuillin on the left. KEY FACTS THE LAND The John Muir Trust land on Skye is east of the Black Cuillin Ridge, Sconser and between four sea lochs – Sligachan and Ainort to the north, Scavaig and Slapin to the south. It’s a landscape of strong features and also strong contrasts. High mountain slopes including Glamaig, Sgurr na Stri and Blà Bheinn rise from sea to summit without interruption. They are also seen rising from wide peatlands, as in Glen Sligachan, and against the croftland Torrin and coastal woods of Torrin and southern Strathaird. The hills themselves may be red and rounded (the Red Cuillin between Glamaig and Marsco) or black and jagged (Bla Bheinn and its Strathaird satellites), and there’s also white limestone that outcrops and is Torrin was acquired by the quarried at Torrin. John Muir Trust in 1991, Strathaird in 1994 and The area west of the Blà Bheinn– Clach Glas–Garbh-bheinn ridge, Sconser in 1997. including Coire Dubh, is as wild as any land in Britain. Its rugged Areas nature is enhanced by its remoteness and loneliness and the absence of roads, tracks and vehicles. Torrin 2225 ha (5500 acres), Strathaird 6500 ha (15,000 The west boundary of the JMT land runs through Loch Coruisk, in acres), Sconser 3400 ha (8400 the heart of the Black Cuillin and undoubtedly the most spectacular acres).
