Islands of Scotland - Isle of Skye and the Small Isles (1/3)
1) Isle of Skye and The Small Isles
Skye or the Isle of Skye (Scottish Gaelic An t-Eilean Sgitheanach), is the largest and most northerly island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. The island's peninsulas radiate out from a mountainous centre dominated by the Cuillin hills. Although it has been suggested that the Gaelic name describes this shape there is no definitive agreement as to its origins.
The island has been occupied since the Mesolithic and has a colourful history including a time of Norse rule and a long period of domination by clans Leod and Donald. The events of the 19th century had a devastating impact on the human population, which today numbers around 9,200. In contrast to many other Scottish islands this represents a 4% increase from the census of 1991.The residents are augmented in the summer by large numbers of tourists and visitors. The main industries are tourism, agriculture, fishing and whisky-distilling. The largest settlement is Portree, which is known for its picturesque harbour. Just over 30% of the residents on Skye speak Gaelic.

The Small Isles
Rebel Alliance are a group of divers that organise dive-trips around Scotland. This video is some test shots with my new underwater housing system. The diving around the Small Isles is famed for its stunning walls, some of which bottom out at 80m depth. The swift waters and high energy sites make is a prime place for Jewel Anemones, who cling to the topography in currents that at some times can be like winds. Music by Keving Macleod

The Big Small Isles Challenge 2012
The Small Isles consist of the islands of Rum, Eigg, Muck and Canna. On this innovative charity challenge event, you must visit all four of the Small Isles and climb to the highest point on each one. The itinerary provides the physical challenge of climbing 4 mountains over 2 days (ranging from 137m - 812m high), the excitement of high speed RIB boat transfers between the islands.
The challenge is staged over two days, with the three lowest peaks being climbed on Day 2 and the highest peak, Askival on Rum, being climbed on Day 3. You will be dropped off in Mallaig late afternoon on Day 3.
