Skye is also steeped in history, with ancient castles like Dunvegan, links to the Jacobite risings, and deep-rooted Gaelic traditions still evident in place names, music, and language. Its diverse wildlife includes golden eagles, red deer, otters, and seals, while the surrounding waters are frequented by dolphins and whales.
