Revealing how accessible Skye is For All
The good summer weather has bypassed Skye in recent weeks so our walk was taken under leaden skies and occasional sunshine. We found a lovely farm track which crosses open land and forest between Skeabost Cemetery and the Struan road and which proved to be very accessible in so many ways. Here is how we coped on the Skeabost Cemetery Track.
According to a stone erected on St Columba’s Isle, it is the ancient burial ground and site of the Cathedral Church of the Bishop of the Isles from 1079 to 1498. Similarly ancient is the mortuary chapel of the Nicolson’s Aisle. Here according to tradition 28 chiefs of that clan are buried. Hidden away on the banks of the River Snizort it is a peaceful place, often missed by those whizzing along the main road between Dunvegan and Portree.
