Flaite do'n Eilean Sgitheanach

by scottishvisitor - last update: Jan 29, 2008

Speed Bonny Boat Like a Bird on a Wing

skye = Sgitheanach
Eilean a' Cheo' = The Misty Island, I finallly found you! The opening title translates from the Gaelic into English as The Isle of Skye, Gaelic could never be accused of being lazy - the letters in the name are more than doubled - the pleasure in Skye is in triplicate.
Ah Skye = where the sky really does reach down to kiss the sea.
The update is a YouTube link to the Skye Boat Song with some more lovely views when you cross the sea to Skye.

 Absolutely wonderful Isle of Skye travel page with great photographs and excellent travel tips. The Dunvegan Castle and its gardens certainly look amazing, and so is the Little Lochan. Thanks for the virtual tour. ~ho & pang
