Isle of Skye, Scotland, Travelogue

This is a travelogue dedicated for Scotland Visitors. I am one of the fortunate guys chosen by God to see the beauty of Isle Of Skye, in its absolute beauty.. It was Christmas 2009, worst time to visit Isle of Skye, i havent even heard of its name till then. I was in my friends place at Newcastle, to celebrate his birthday and enjoy Newcastle. But his room mates, some of the best mates seen in my life had some other plans. At 10 Pm in the night of Christmas they decided to go to this place called Isle of Skye, and as usual I was game for roaming any where, as I had only 3 months to see and work in UK.

Isle of Skye, is a paradise on Earth,, and snow covering like a blanked whole of nearby places, we were really fortunate that the weather and road were perfect for our unplanned trip. We had to pass Glasgow, which changed my impression of Scotland altogether, a beautiful modern city with high raise buildings and beautiful town. I had an 1 % oppty to get into University of Glasgow 3 years back. But I am really happy what I am. When we got Sun light into the place, it was beautiful, horrifying at the sametime. The whole place was like a pencil sketch, black and white due to the blanket of snow. Remember to avoid ferry if you are going by car to isle of skye during weekends. We lost a lot of time travelling around to get the ferry less route.. Though there is less of visitor of spots like Elean and Donnan Castle ( For tamilians the Castle in which Kandukondain Kandukondain Aishwarya song was shot) it was closed, but we did have fun enroute stopping at scenic places, with over foot of snow covering over legs. The snow was killing our feets. The Neist point is 55 miles away from Skye Bridge, but its a beautiful place, with one way roads. and haunted houses and no human beings in sight for most of the journey... Neist point is a light house, and one of the extreme ends of UK region... Later I learnt tht its one of the best places for spotting Whales and Dolphins during season..

The drive in the mountains is the most unforgettable experience one could ever have, I was lucky to drive for around 100 miles.... it was a real great experience.. UK visitors dont miss Isle of Skye if u love the experience... for others it might be just another horrible place.. as we met an old guy who got diverted here due to trains to inverness where delayed due to bad weather..

And the good news is there is an Indian Restaurant...
