The Isle of Skye is probably the most famous tourist spot to be visited in Glasgow. On a good day, it boasts a great view of Uilean castle - I think it's Uilean castle - and of the surrounding countryside. However, as one knows british weather, it's apt to many changes in a day. More so Scotland. On the way to Skye, it's about 9 hours journey by car from Glasgow. Also, the toll bridge leading to Skye is also the most expensive one in the world. Arguably, of course. If I can remember correctly, they charge 3 pounds per head to cross the bridge. And this toll bridge is only open during certain times of the year. Spring to Autumn, I believe. And as told to me by my many friends who've been to Skye - Too misty, I can't see anything. Or where's the sun?? I don't see any sunlight!!! Or, it rained the whole 2 days!!! What sort of famous vacation spot is this??? Ah yes, like I said, the famous scottish weather and wind will get you down. But it's all worth it for those precious 5 minutes of sunlight when one can see Skye in her beauty in the sunset. And then, with a sigh of contentment, all the pain was worth it. The sacrifices made not too great for the priye before your eyes. Of course, the sun has to decide to shine first....
