November really feels like the moment when winter really starts in the Scottish Highlands. The tempreture really dips at the start of November and the darker days draw in, making it a really wintery feeling month. November is a month of fairly changeable weather. In 2023, November was still fairly autumnal, with weather staying fairly mild for most of the month. That was the year we went to Coral Beach on the Isle of Skye . It was a beautiful autumnal day, when you didn't nee

However, for me, there really is no better time to visit the Isle of Skye than during the colder months of the year. It might not be the warmest time, or the time to safely explore some of Skye's most incredible natural wonders, but there's still something really special about winter on Skye. So I've put together a wee
