Skye Trip - The Cuillin Mountains from the Sligachan Bridges

The main roads to the Isle of Skye Bridge, the Sleat Peninsula, Dunvegan and the island's largest town, Portree, meet at the Sligachan Hotel and the two bridges. From this place you get a beautiful view of both The Red Cuiilins and the Black Cuillins. I've read that the word 'cuillin' (pronounced coolin) is derived from the norse/viking word 'kjollen' meaning keel-shaped?

 

God help you all because I've just learned how easy it is to provide a youtube music link to a photo. If you don't like the sound of bagpipes then dont click on the link. I hope this is the Skye Boat Song (Over the Sea to Skye).
