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.

  • PLN08613 Mr DJ Graham 6 Eyre, Kensaleyre
    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda Item 6.5 NORTH AREA PLANNING APPLICATIONS COMMITTEE Report No PLN/086/13 – 17 September 2013 13/02244/FUL : Mr DJ Graham 6 Eyre, Kensaleyre, Portree IV51 9XB Report by Area Planning Manager SUMMARY Description : Change of use of building to holiday letting unit. Recommendation - GRANT Ward : 11 - Eilean A' Cheò Development category : Local Development Pre-determination hearing : not required Reason referred to Committee : Number of objections received. 1. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.1 This application has been submitted as one seeking the change of use of an existing shed (erected under planning permission 12/00658/FUL) to a holiday letting unit. In fact, as pointed out in several of the third party comments received for this application, the shed has been built some 9 metres to the west of where it was originally approved and features rooflights and other fenestration changes from the original. In the light of this, the shed cannot be regarded as the building approved under 12/00658/FUL and is unauthorised. Consequently, this application is, in reality, seeking retrospective planning permission for the erection of the building as well as permission to use it as a holiday let in the future. At present, the physical form of the building is as shown on the amended elevational drawings although the large first floor window and balcony on the western elevation have not been installed and internally, the building has no first floor and is fitted out as a garage and shed. Other than that, the building is the 10m x 7m x 6.8m high one and a half storey building shown on the amended plans.

  • The Cairngorm Club Journal 079, 1938
    EILEAN A' CHEÒ : AN ENCHANTED ISLE. BY R. PARK YUNNIE. " Lovest thou mountains great, Peaks to the clouds that soar, Corrie and fell where eagles dwell, And cataracts rush evermore ? Lovest thou green grassy glades, By the sunshine sweetly kissed, Murmuring waves and echoing caves ? Then go to the Isle of Mist." SKYE begins when you leave Inverness, at least that is where the wild, exultant atmosphere of the West first enters into your blood, for then you leave the last outpost of modern civilisation on the winding road to the Isles. As you skim along the road beside lovely Loch Ness a strange excitement fills your mind, the blood runs more quickly in your veins, and you seem to hear the clash of claymores in the wind and the wild cries of the Jacobites. At Invermoriston you take the hill road over to Cluanie and down to Shiel Bridge, where you go to the left over the famous hill to Glenelg and Kyle Rhea Ferry. The road leads down to the edge of the sea, and before you, across the narrow strip of wind- tossed water, lie the beckoning hills of Skye. Here the winds blow fresh and clean and you can feel the sweet tang of the Isles. Eilean a' Cheò is within your grasp. No boat is moored to the rough stone pier. You sound the car horn, whistle, and excitedly wave white handkerchiefs to attract attention on the other side, but your only reward is Thethe soft murmu Cairngormr of the waves lapping on the shore anClubd the sighing voice of the wind.
