In some ways it looks like where I am from (Nova Scotia).

If you're ok with the midges/cleggs, solitude and a bit of rain, it's the place to be. Everything else is good.

I think that's why the highlanders and Islanders prefered your area to emmigrate too. Same goes for new Zealand.

Well, many Nova Scotians do descend from victims of the Highland Clearances, too. They were sent there.

Great pics, mate!

I recognize Glen Coe, Eileen Donan, the Old Man of Storr and the War Memorial.

I did the same route a few years back. Midges & murk!

I didn't hike Storr but I did hike at the Quirang at the tippity-top of Skye and the two spots are similar, being 'made' of the same kind of rock. Here was what the view was like:

And AD is right--Nova Scotia isn't terribly different from Auld Scotia--just a lot more trees.
