Page 6 - Skye (without the Cuillins)
 Over
the last 20 years I have spent a great deal of time in Trotternish, the
northern "wing" of the Isle of Skye.
Trotternish has many scenic attractions, but doesn't get as much
exposure as the better known Cuillins.
So here are a few snaps, mostly taken in Trotternish, to redress the
balance.
