Waternish or Bhatairnis/Vaternish is a peninsula approximately 12 km (7.5 mi) long on the island of Skye, Scotland, situated between Loch Dunvegan and Loch Snizort in the northwest of the island, and traditionally inhabited and owned by Clan MacLeod whose clan seat is at the nearby Dunvegan Castle. The current clan chief is Hugh Macleod of Macleod. It contains the hamlets of Stein and Lusta in Loch Bay to the south east, Halistra, Hallin and Trumpan further north and Gillen to the west, all of which are accessed from the A850 road by crossing the Fairy Bridge. The highest point is Ben Geary (284 m (932 ft)) and the most northerly is Waternish Point. The name Waternish is derived from the Norse vatnenes or "headland of the pond".
The history of the peninsula is a long (and often bloody) one involving clan feuds, massacres, de-population during the Highland Clearances, and eventual re-vitalisation. Originally consisting of small crofting communities, Waternish now has a growing population and is home to various arts and crafts enterprises. Whilst the main industry on Waternish is tourism, there has also been a revival in recent years of crofting or small scale agriculture. The local school is called Knockbreck. The school has struggled recently due to an ageing population which has resulted in only 4 students currently attending and the school has been scheduled for closing in summer 2015. The local pub is the Stein Inn, which dates back to 1790 and is the oldest on Skye.

The road to Waternish on the Isle of Skye. A typical example of rural roads in the highlands of Scotland! Waternish is home to SkyeSkyns so well worth the effort. They offer a tannery tour and opportunity to spend lots of cash! Just to note that driving can be slow up in the highlands with speeds often averaging no more than 40mph.
This Minke whale came close to the kayak, when we where just passing Waternish Point on Skye. It was a calm day and we thought the rough water would be good for some mackerel.

We came across this big, old Crayfish during a dive at Waternish Point on Skye. Sadly these aren't something you encounter very frequently on dives in Scottish waters and particularly not specimens of this size. They're fascinating and almost alien looking creatures but have been over-fished to the extent that they are becoming a rare occurrence. We checked it out for a little while and then carried on with what was a great scenic dive and left it in peace. More at www.immersedblog.com

The Black Cuillin, which are mainly composed of basalt and gabbro, include twelve Munros and provide some of the most dramatic and challenging mountain terrain in Scotland.The ascent of Sgùrr a' Ghreadaidh is one of the longest rock climbs in Britain and the Inaccessible Pinnacle is the only peak in Scotland that requires technical climbing skills to reach the summit.These hills make demands of the hill walker that exceed any others found in Scotland and a full traverse of the Cuillin ridge may take 15–20 hours.The Red Hills (Gaelic: Am Binnean Dearg) to the south are also known as the Red Cuillin. They are mainly composed of granite that has weathered into more rounded hills with many long scree slopes on their flanks. The highest point of these hills is Glamaig, one of only two Corbetts ...

Dile que bailando te conoci
Cuéntale
Dile que esta noche me quieres ver
Cuéntale
Cuéntale que beso mejor que el
Cuéntale
Dile que esta noche tu me vas a ver
Cuéntale
Cuéntale que te conoci bailando
Cuéntale que soy mejor que el
Cuéntale que te traigo loca
Cuéntale que no lo quieres ver
Cuéntale que te conoci bailando
Cuéntale que soy mejor que el
Cuéntale que te traigo loca
Cuéntale que no lo quieres ver
Que quizas fue la noche la que te traiciono
O el perfume de mi piel lo que te cautivo
Que ya no tienes excusas pa' tu traicion
Que tuvistes mil motivos, que entre en razon
Que quizas te hablo al oido como ya el no
O en mi arde el fuego de la pasion
Ya no le mientas mas y admite tu error
Y si es por mi no pidas perdon
Digo, queda de ti el que lo perdones
El que lo olvides o lo abandones
Porque con llorar no se compone
Entonces a mi dame otra noche
Otra, otra noche, otra
Ay, que yo no te bote
Otra, otra noche, otra
Aunque tu vuelvas con el
Otra, otra noche, otra
Cuéntale, cuéntale
Otra, otra noche, otra
