During time out around the south end of the island, Susie shares what she learned on a visit to the Bright Water Centre, about history and geology as well as the story behind writer Gavin Maxwell’s connections to Skye and Lochalsh. And in a bid to find the enigmatic little beasts, she took the road over to Kylerhea to spend some time at the otter hide.

Susie reviews two live concerts she was lucky enough to go to recently in the south end of the island. Both very different in character and content, one jazz and the other Irish Traditional folk but both great examples of the live music experience that Skye has to offer visitors and residents all through the year.

Sharing images of Skye’s natural winter beauty, Susie’s blog features an account of a writing and photography project begun in the depth of winter as an antidote to the short days and low light. As the rest of the country grinds to a standstill under snow drifts and freezing rain, these images reflect the coming of Spring after the icy blast.
