Description
Following the success of 'Like a Bird on the Wing', this second book is an armchair tour of the 'other wings' of the 'Winged Isle'. Skye is well known for its landscapes - mountains, lochs and headlands, but equally so for its history and legends. The romance of Skye has brought many visitors 'over the sea to Skye' since Victorian times, and the island still fascinates the tourist. The Cuillin mountains attract climbers and walkers, Wildlife Tourism is on the increase, and there is a welcome emphasis on renewable energy. Although crofting and farming are going through a bad patch, there is still a vibrant attitude in evidence among the young people of this beautiful island.
