The Isle of Skye

When the sea breeze carrying briny moisture hits your face, you truly understand the profound meaning behind the Gaelic name "Isle of Skye" – those misty veils clinging to the cliffs aren't mere decoration, but the island's breath made visible. As dawn light pierces through the fog to illuminate Portree's colorful harbor houses, the story of Skye unfolds layer by layer. Seawater rushes through basalt crevices with organ-like resonance, while waves shatter into silver dust beneath the shadows of the Cuillin Mountains. The vertical cliffs of Kilt Rock resemble a giant's axe-split black forest cake, and the fossilized wave patterns on the stratified rocks record the ancient ocean's retreating posture.
