Best Speciality Shops in Skye & Lochalsh
Swimming Cows
Before railways ended the trade, Scotland was covered by a network of drove roads, used for driving cattle, to southern markets. From Skye, cattle, tied nose to tail, were swum across to the mainland of Kylerhea. You can still sail across to Skye here on the traditional Kylerhea Ferry.
Walking with Dinosaurs
Jurassic age rocks outcrop on the beach at Staffin, among other places. Soft sands 165 million years ago, these sedimentary rocks have already yielded dinosaur remains, most spectacularly the footprints of a giant megalosaurus, now on display in Staffin Museum. |
