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.

From top right (clockwise): (1) Wester Ross Wild Trout Workshop participants netting sea trout in the Flowerdale Burn estuary by Gairloch Harbour on 1st May 2019. The TV cameras were recording for ‘Sean’s Scotland’. Over 500 parasitic sea lice were counted on one of the sea trout from the sample. (2) Despite very high numbers of sea lice recorded on sea trout earlier in the year, this large mature female sea trout was taken in the sweep net at Flowerdale in September 2019. Note the louse damaged but healed dorsal fin. In some situations, sea trout are able to recover from heavy infestations of sea lice by moving into freshwater where the sea lice detach. (3) Skye fisheries biologist and Glasgow University PhD student Isabel Moore (front left) and other members of the Skye sweep netting team by Loch Slapin in June 2019. To be able to carry out its field work programme, SWRFT depends upon support from many volunteers.
