Red Cuillin
The Red Hills (Na Beanntan Dearga in Gaelic) are sometimes known as the Red Cuillin.
They are mainly composed of granite which is paler than the gabbro (with a reddish tinge from some angles in some lights) and has weathered into more rounded hills with vegetation cover to summit level and long scree slopes on their flanks.
The highest point of the hills is Glamaig, one of only two Corbetts on Skye (the other being Garbh-bheinn, part of the small group of gabbro outliers surrounding Blà Bheinn).

Black Cuillin
The peaks of the Black Cuillin are mainly composed of gabbro, a very rough black igneous rock which provides a superb grip for mountaineers, and basalt, which can be very slippery when wet.
The summits of the Cuillin are bare rock, jagged in outline and with steep cliffs and deep cut corries and gullies.
Twelve Black Cuillin peaks are listed as Munros, though one of them, Blaven, is part of a group of outliers separated from the main ridge by Glen Sligachan.

Coral Beach
Skye is famous for many things, but great beaches are not high on the list. You'll find better ones on Harris, or Tiree, or Uist, or Berneray, or Iona. But there are a few wee gems on Skye, and the Coral Beach at Claigan is one of them.
Its combination of accessibility and white sand make it a very attractive option on a warm sunny day.
Despite its name, and all these tales of the Gulf Stream, the beach is not made of coral at all. It is actually composed of pieces of dessicated and sun-bleached algae. If you look carefully it is still possible to find some fairly big bits.

The Misty Isle
Moody, mist-shrouded mountains, snow-caked moorland, rushing burns and steely grey lochs: the Isle of Skye can be forbidding in winter. They can also be magical, a Narnia-style wonderland enchanting to explore
Battered by wind and rain this black rocked mystical isle has a history of Celts Clansmen and Crofters. The Cuillin Hills dominate a rugged primeval landscape where the weather and light change from minute to minute.
Colour Description: Fresh delicate grey with blue undertonesPlease note: Whilst we try to replicate each colour on our website, colour on screen may vary due to a number of factors including screen resolution.

The island was referred to by the Norse as Skuy (misty isle), Skýey or Skuyö (isle of cloud).
The influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf Stream create a mild oceanic climate. Temperatures are generally cool, averaging 6.5°C
Snow seldom lies at sea level and frosts are less frequent than on the mainland. Winds are a limiting factor for vegetation. South-westerlies are the most common In common with most islands of the west coast of Scotland, rainfall is generally high and the elevated Cuillin are wetter still giving rise to the name ‘The Misty Isle’.
