Not much there unless you're into submarines or shaggin' sheep.

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

A long time ago, when they were still building oil rigs there. Very remote, and nothing much to see apart from fab scenery.

Not much more than the gateway to Skye

It's beautiful spot though, and for you movie geeks the Eilean Donan castle is where Highlander was set.

As long as I can get a wee dram of single malt, a decent pint and may be some fresh air, I'll be happy.

The air is so fresh here it tastes sweet (I think so anyway)

There are 2 pubs in Kyle, 3 in Kyleakin (other side of the bridge)

Where are you staying?
