Visitor Book

Mandy Cotter   Tiverton, Devon, England - 8^th April 2010  

What a great website. My family and I have been taking our family holidays every year, all but three since 1990, in the small village of Letterfearn near Kyle. It is great to keep an eye on all the local areas around, and also find out new information about the area. We are all booked up again for our holiday this summer and can't wait.

Col Atkins   Lisburn, County Antrim, Northern Ireland - 1^st March 2010  

What a brilliant website and great pictures too! I climbed Blaven four years ago with my wife and really enjoyed it.

Chris   West London, England - 21^st February 2010  

I love the site and especially the cameras at Sabhal Mor Ostaig college, my wife is working at the college and I love to see the changeable light conditions during the day, effectively seeing exactly the same as she is at the same time... I still think yours is one of the best webcams I've ever seen so congratulations on it!

Jo Ison   Cumbria, England - 11^th January 2010  

I've just found this wonderful website! I've been visiting Skye every year since 1995, (staying at Torrin since 1997). I class it as Home! Now I can visit this website to feed my hunger until I return in September! Thank you :-)

Fred Riley   Nottingham, England - 10^th January 2010  

Just a short comment to congratulate you on such a crisp and well-designed site. From a tech viewpoint (I'm a web designer/developer) it's great to see a standards-compliant, cross-browser and accessible site, and your credit to the menu system could be of quite some help to me. More importantly, from the content viewpoint, it's got lots of really interesting content on an area of Skye I've been to a few times but not really know much about its history, so you've really deepened my appreciation of the area. Some excellent landscape photos too - isn't Blaven a great mountain for photographers? :o)

Jean Stocks   Bradford, West Yorkshire, England - 10^th January 2010  

Had a wonderful hour+ on your website. I will keep visiting your site for a fix until I am back in August for my annual holiday. Keep up the good work.

Roy Tait   Torrin, Isle of Skye - 1^st January 2010  

Very best wishes to all for a happy, healthy, prosperous and snow-free 2010.

MC   Somerset, England - 18^th December 2009  

Fantastic to see the area we stayed in last summer and intend returning to. Incredible scene. Excellent webcam Thank you!

Sally   Essex, England - 17^th September 2009  

We stayed at Cloverhill Cottage (the time-lapse sequence brought back lovely memories!) from 15th August 2009. Unfortunately it rained every day of our weeks stay. However in this stunning location, what does rain matter. Thanks for the great website ... we could almost be back there!

Charlie Glendinning   Ashton, Maryland, USA - 25^th August 2009  

I was on Bla Bheinn August 19, 2009. Carrying 50 pounds of backpack, the plan was to go up and over the mountain, around to Loch Coruisk, then up and over the next ridge to Coire Ghrunda, down to Glen Brittle and around to Sligachan. I aborted the plan when the winds picked up to 60 mph, the rain started stabbing my face like ice picks, and a cloud bank ripped over the top of the mountain killing all visibility. I felt like I was standing on the wing of a 747. I SHALL return... lighter and wiser.

Dona Morton   Strathaven, Scotland - 23^rd August 2009  

Enjoyed reading this very much.

Jim Hughes   Taneytown, Maryland, USA - 3^rd August 2009  

Loved your website. I was on Skye one of the beautiful days in late June 09 and the road to Elgol was gorgeous. The view of Bla Bheinn from the edge of the Loch Slapin was a view I will remember forever. Clear blue skies in sunny Scotland.

Andrew Campbell   Edinbain, Isle of Skye. Now Melbourne, Australia - 8^th May 2009  

I visit this wonderful website regularly. Skye is never far away. Moran Taing!

Adrian Atkins   St. Albert, Alberta, Canada - 12^th February 2009  

Blá Bheinn was my first solo munro about 11 yrs ago when I lived in Fife. It is a beautiful mountain and I introduced many folks to it before moving out here to Canada. I’m not homesick, but this site does stir up a few fond memories.

Roy Tait   Torrin, Isle of Skye - 1^st January 2009  

Best wishes to all for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2009.

Ruiseart Murray   Broadford... now Auckland NZ - 19^th November 2008  

Homesick... :( Slainte.

Mark Absolon   Morley, Leeds, England - 7^th October 2008  

A fantastic website. Superb satellite pictures, walk guides, acres of background, a complete guide to Skye and all the links I was looking for as well. Can’t wait to climb Blaven now!

Jean Bland   Cumbria, England - 16^th August 2008  

I visit your website every day just to remind me of the highlands which my husband and I love so much. It helps with the withdrawal symptons until we can visit again.

Martyn   Whitstable, England - 4^th July 2008  

A great website that does justice to its great subject matter. It reminds me why I can’t stay away from all the fabulous places - mountain, valley and coastal - between Broadford and Elgol. Not a day passes without my thinking about the place - keeps me sane(ish). And Blá Bheinn is a great walk in rain or shine.

Roy Tait   Torrin, Isle of Skye - 1^st January 2008  

Best wishes to all for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2008.

Frank Dowie   Southport, England - 26^th September 2007  

Had the pleasure of driving from Broadford to Elgol last September - a journey never to be forgotten. Could talk all night about the sail over Scavaig with Seamus! However, that first sight of Blaven was awesome. Rained heavily on our arrival (over the bridge) but when we awoke the next morning someone had built mountains, least of all Blaven. Thank you.

Andrew Lane   Tadworth, England - 26^th July 2007  

I’m not a great one for posting comments on websites, but I have to thank you for this wonderful opportunity to reconnect with this most special of mountains in this most special of ranges. I am at a loss to explain its draw or its hold, but I am truly and deeply moved to view the panorama from the summit and I shall return again and again to feast upon it. Thank you so much for making it available and so easily accessible.

Willie Morrison   Inverness, Scotland - 18^th July 2007  

Delighted to see that the pioneering photographic work of Duncan Macpherson is at long last being recognised. It’s a very important piece of West Highland social history. His photos are excellent and I’ve also enjoyed his first two books, which I have been able to find copies of.

Graham Mead   Charvil, England - 24^th June 2007  

In June 2007 we tried to do the walk to the abandoned village of Keppoch described in a small booklet obtained from the Tourist Board. There was no information in the display at the start of the walk and we searched without success for the path which we understood left the left hand side of the track. We took the track (climbing up the valley) for 2 miles. We would love to do it next time. But beautiful scenery anyway.

Allen Gethin   Preston, England - 22^nd March 2007  

The Clac Glas - Blaven traverse is the best mountaineering day for me. Done it three times and never been disappointed. So many happy memories of Blaven and Skye I have my own photos of Blaven as wallpaper to constantly remind me to go back.

"A MacLeod"   Massachusetts, USA - 19^th March 2007  

Your site is beautiful and my heart longs to be in Skye. The wonderful photos you have gathered will keep me thinking of a return trip soon! Thank you for creating such a pleasing webpage.

Melanie Richards   Bristol, England - 3^rd January 2007  

Visited Skye again over Xmas (parents live in Portree) hired the bunkhouse in Torrin for the third time run by Becky and Paul. Beautiful views on a daily basis, remarkable place to visit and not wanting to come home, The drive to Broadford from Torrin is spectacular and the sheep are both stubborn when they want to be and also very funny with it, the whole place is both beautiful and relaxing. I would highly recommend a visit.
