“A wonderful place to stay at on Skye. The rooms are amazingly grand, and the owner, Hugh MacDonald, is most obliging in giving his guests a guided tour of the family portraits and trophies. A word to the wise : in the Great Hall, the stuffed bird called a "Croatian Chocolate Vulture, killed by Bolshevik artillery in 1914" is a Golden Eagle. Mentioning the historical discrepancy earned me an introduction to the best single malt of all : Highland Park 18 years-old, a nectar from the Orkney Islands. And a fitting tipple for a most magical island.”
