Situated on a hillside overlooking Uig Bay, on the Isle of Skye, is the pretty little Free Church, basked in the evening glow.
Enjoyed this evening in the company of Skyebaggie, who was kind enough to show us several locations
Our thanks again Anton, your help was much appreciated
Hope to return that favour at some point
The Holy Isle (Scottish Gaelic: Eilean MoLaise) is one of a number of islands in the United Kingdom which go under the name "Holy Island". It is located in the Firth of Clyde off the west coast of central Scotland, inside Lamlash Bay on the larger island of Arran. The island is around 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) long and around 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) wide. Its highest point is the hill Mullach Mòr.
The island has a long history as a sacred site, with a spring or holy well held to have healing properties, the hermit cave of 6th century monk St Molaise, and evidence of a 13th-century monastery. An old Gaelic name for the island was Eilean MoLaise, Molaise's Island; this is the origin (via Elmolaise and Limolas) of "Lamlash", the name of the village on Arran that faces Holy Island.
Some runic writing is to be found on the roof of St Molaise's cave and a Viking fleet sheltered between Arran and Holy Isle before the Battle of Largs.
In 1549, Dean Monro wrote of the "little ile callit the yle of Molass, quherin there was foundit by Johne, Lord of the iles, ane monastry of friars, which is decayit."[10]
On the Isle of Elar, the beauty of spring is all around you. Please enjoy your visit and feel free to get lost in your own wanderings.

Il n'est pas de petites choses, il n'y a que des regards trop étroits.
Je l'aime particulièrement ce petit rouge-gorge, qui se trouvait dans toutes les sims de Serene et de Jade.
Il veille sur l'île, le regard pensif.

L'Isle-aux-Grues située au coeur du Fleuve St-Laurent et est la seule des 21 îles de l'Archipel à être habitée à l'année par 130 habitants. Longue de 10 km et large de 4 km.
Un séjour là-bas nous transporte dans un autre monde, celui régi par les marées et la nature.
This point-and-shoot photo of the Isle of Skye was taken in 2006. The island lies off Scotland's north-west coast. It is the largest island of the Inner Hebrides, and is joined to the mainland by a bridge.
Ardwall Isle, a tidal island in Fleet Bay. Once the site of a 5th/6th c. chapel, a 13th c. hall, an 18th c. tower and used as a base for smuggling. An unbelievable amount of history on one tiny island.
Another interesting Far-East sim: The island of Pandasia, mystic with a Zen atmosphere for nature lovers, relaxing and taking photos or taking a boat trip. the sim is fully open including the beach side house. Good visit!

The Isle of Skye, connected to the northwest coast of Scotland by a bridge, is known for its wild landscapes, picturesque fishing villages and medieval castles. The largest island in the Inner Hebrides archipelago, it has a rugged coastline of peninsulas and narrow lochs, radiating out from more mountainous inland areas. The town of Portree, the starting point for exploring the island, has shops and seaside pubs.
L'île de Skye, reliée à la côte nord-ouest de l'Écosse par un pont, est connue pour ses paysages sauvages, ses pittoresques villages de pêcheurs et ses châteaux médiévaux. Plus grande île de l'archipel des Hébrides intérieures, elle possède un littoral accidenté de péninsules et de lochs étroits, rayonnant depuis des zones intérieures plus montagneuses. La ville de Portree, point de départ pour explorer l'île, dispose de boutiques et de pubs en bord de mer.
Just going through the pictures of my amazing weekend at the Isle of Skye, February 2018. I will remember this as one of the best weekends I ever had. Landscapes were just amazing!
An abandoned house on the Isle of Scalpay.
Scalpay is connected to the Isle of Harris by a bridge which was built in 1997. However, since then the population has continued to decline and is currently around 300.
In 2012 the owner of the island offered Scalpay to the residents for free. The residents voted to take over the running of the island and it is hoped the fortunes of the Scalpay will improve now the community has control of its own destiny.
