I visited Skye in October and found my special place on earth. Our meeting was deep love at first sight and I know I will be living there in the near future. Skye is HOME to me now.

Thanks for a wonderfully composed website which was instrumental in the planning of a recent photographic trip to Skye.

I struck lucky with the weather and got some wonderful photographs along the seven miles which you can see at www.cankitaphotos.co.uk.

Visit Torrin on a regular basis. The most beautiful and stunning place on the planet. It is a honour to visit natures heaven. A spiritual Homeland. Thank you mother nature.

Great site. Spent a lot of time on Skye from 1960 when I was at school. Only now do I discover I had relatives who lived there (Neil Maclean and wife Isabella Smith who ran the stores in Armadale until the mid 1960s).

I visited Skye last year really enjoyed a wonderful holiday. Visited Sligachan knowing the webcam was situated there and really felt a part of me was still there when checking pictures from it. Very disappointed that it is permanently off line. Any chance of viewing the wonderful Cuillins on any other sites or restoring!

(Webmaster comment: CamVista withdrew their popular Sligachan webcam in June 2005. Skye, in spite of its popularity and beauty, is now left with only only one webcam at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig College. With the widespread availability of broadband on Skye, I have started discussions with a number of people regarding new webcams on the island).

A superb walk and scramble that would suit novices and hardened Munro baggers. A consistent ascent with breathtaking views from start to finish. Half an hour gets you to the foot of the mountain then an average ascent of the bottom takes you to a trickier scramble with 2 or 3 different paths to reach the top. I am by no means a professional but I have bagged 20 Munros and for scenery and conditions this was without doubt one of the very best. views of the Cuillins from the summit are phenomenal. A MUST!!!

I love this site I wish you had more web cams on the island. I am from Skye and have lots of family still there.

I have only just discovered your Blaven website and it is absolutely great!

My family are Mackinnons from Kilbride and my grandfather named his sheep property in NSW Blaaven (sic). Also another member of the family called his property Blaaven in Victoria, and it still has the name, and a big signpost at the gateway. So my husband and I are continuing the tradition by calling our place in the Blue Mountains near Sydney - Blà Bheinn!! I decided to use the Gaelic spelling in order to promote the language in a small way.

I first came to the Isle of Skye in the year 1945, staying with relatives at Eabost, Loch Bracadale. There was no running water and we drew water from a nearby well. Lighting was by Tilley lamp and methylated spirit lamp, and candles were used to light our way to bed. Despite the lack of modern conveniences (no inside OR outside toilets) I fell in love with the place and can remember the great excitement when my summer holidays drew near when yet another visit to The Misty Isle was to be made. The happiest times of my life were spent on this magical island and when the sun deigned to appear it was a paradise on earth!!!

Looking for Skye webcams brought me here and what a wonderful site for all of us who love Skye and its mountains, especially Blaven, with a passion - I will be here often and am so glad I found you.

The hospitality in Skye surpasses most other places have been a few times and never been disappointed originally came to visit Skye thru the music of Donnie Munro. When he sang with Runrig the island brought the songs to life and gave them more meaning.

I spent a lot of my summer holidays in the 70s on Skye and around Torrin and in 1985 finally climbed Blaven with my dad who absolutely adored the mountain and the view from the top was well worth waiting for.

Great site, you’ve captured the spirit of the place really well!!

Especially like the quote about the sabre-tooth midges. I left Skye with 317 STM memorable impressions!!

Hi Roy... You pick the best places to get away from it all! Hope everything is going great for you. Love the site, especially the webcams.

I enjoyed your website immensely. It is a fine tribute to the loveliest place on earth, and all the more because of that humorous slant that is peculiar to Scots. The downside is that it gives me a terrible yearning to return! Many thanks.

Love the website. Blaven is a favourite mountain of mine and it’ great to see such a comprehensive and professional site dedicated to it. I’ve given the site a mention on my hillwalking blog http://bagger.typepad.com

Just found this site through Google and very nice it is. I visited Skye for the first time last year and have fantastic memories of climbing Blà Bheinn via the South Ridge route. Stunning mountain and it must rate as one of the best viewpoints in Scotland.

I have some photographs of this stunning peak and also a walk route description on my website www.magicallandscape.com if people would care to pop over and visit.

My Aunt Christine MacKenzie lives in Torrin and my family has various connections to Torrin - to the old schoolhouse and many of the crofting families in the village. My father used to take us up Blà Bheinn every year when I was 5years upwards also fishing on Slapin and swimming during hot summer afternoons. I was there last summer with my own family and Torrin is generally as beautiful as it ever was in my memory!
