The Cuillins, Isle of Skye

Travel through the Highlands of Scotland, or on Skye and you are sure to be struck by the sheer diversity of the landscapes. The spectacular sandstone rock-terracing of the Torridons, the dark and craggy basalt of the Cuillin Hills of Skye, the vivid greens of the plant life on the rich limestone around Inchnadamph in Sutherland - all are typically Highland, yet each is different. The way the rock weathers, its colour and content dictate the shape of the land and what grows upon it - something you will notice wherever you travel.
