Skye, or the Isle of Skye (; Scottish Gaelic: An t-Eilean Sgitheanach or Éilean a' Cheò), is the biggest and most northerly of the great Isles in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland." Remark 1] The island's peninsula radiates from a hilly center overlooked by the Cuillins, whose cliffs represent one of the most spectacular mountains in the state.

The city of Skye is part of the Highland Council. Portree, famous for its quaint port, is the biggest village on the island. 13 ] There are connections by boat to various neighbouring isles and since 1995 over a highway overland. The venues have been made available to Skye for various fiction and fiction works and are acclaimed for their poems and vocals.

Skye is Scotland's second biggest island after Lewis and Harris, covering 1,656 sqkm. Skye's shore is a row of peninsula and coves, starting from a center overlooked by the Cuillin Mountains (Gaelic: An Cuiltheann). It was Malcolm Slesser who proposed that its form "protrudes from the western shore of North Scotland like a crawfish talon, willing to tear the bones of the Harris and Lewis fish"[9] and W. H. Murray, who commented on its uneven shoreline, explained: "Skye is sixty miles[100 km] long, but what its width could be is beyond man's ingenuity".

1 ][Note 4] Martin Martin, a local of the island, gave a detailed report in a 1703 work. From the island in general, Johnson observed: I' ve never been to an island home where I couldn't find a book in more than one language if I stayed long enough to want it, except one from which the whole familiy was taken away.

There is no need to mention that there are no homes where travelers are maintained for cash in less crowded places like the isles. Ruined in the vacated countryside of Tusdale, once so densely populated that it was called the "capital of Skye", the writer Sorley MacLean, who spent much of his time on Skye on the island of Raasay, off the island's eastern shore.

121 ] The island was immortalized in the folk tune "The Skye Boat Song" and is the fictional stage of Virginia Woolf's novel "Zum Leuchtturm", although the skye of the novel has little to do with the city. 122 ] John Buchan's description of Skye, as contained in his Richard Hannay novel Mr Standfast, is more lifelike.

S. K. Tremayne's bestselling The Ice Twins, released worldwide in 2015-2016, is based in the south of Skye, especially around the Isleornsay village and islets. Hebrides generally do not have the diversity of the British mainland[132], but like most of the major isles, Skye still has a great diversity of people.

Isle of Sky has deer and roe bucks, but no rabbits. In 1916, the last spawning couple of European white-tailed eagles in the United Kingdom were taken by an oviperman on Skye, but the breed was recently reintroduced. The last time that the chicken was cultivated on the island was in 1900.

140 ][141] In the lakes there are important shell and diving star banks[142] and in 2012 a study of Loch Alsh found a 100 million shell of flames. The biggest of the Inner Hebrides lying just northern of Skye are the Isle of Ewe, Tanera Mòr and Handa, none of which covers more than 310ha.
