The final destination of our road trip was the most breathtaking place I have ever seen. I honestly struggle to find words to describe it, and even photos frustrate me because I feel like they don't begin to do it justice. To get to Skye, we drove all the way through the highlands, took a teeny tiny ferry, and drove on a single lane road (you literally have to pull over if another car is coming) to arrive in this incredible island at the very northern tip of Scotland.
Being in Skye feels like being on the edge of the earth. Waternish, the town where we stayed, has a population of 400 and it was only dark for about four hours. Every single person we met we completely fell in love with, and all the fish we ate was caught that day. We also lucked into staying at the most beautiful bed & breakfast run by the absolute nicest couple.
We were deliriously giddy the entire time and I genuinely felt like I wanted to drop everything, move to Skye and become a crofter (if it wasn't so cold...). Nothing beats natural beauty, local food and amazing people. Skye is my heaven.

i'm sort of a closet reader of your blog, but I have to break out and comment on this just to say
WOW.
Wow, it almost doesn't look real. That city is a gem I never knew existed. What an amazing experience!
oh my god, amazing.
Wow, that is one beautiful place! xxoo :)
looks like an amazing place! its definitely been on my list of place to go for awhile, but i think it just moved up a few spots :)
this is Vashti Bunyan country!!! this is where she and her lover were headed in their horse-drawn gypsy wagon in the late 60s to help start a utopian hippie community with Donovan i believe. and she wrote her mystical magical little melodies in this landscape! okay wait, i just read up on it again and i was confused, it was to berneray in the outer hebrides but the name of the commune was Skype, thus my confusion. anyway, if i had to choose what my ideal community's setting would look like i must say it would look exactly like this. oh olivia, it's an absolute dreamworld. and your photos do at least some justice because they are making my heart skip a beat! i can't wait to show darin. there is nothing i can even say that can compliment enough the perfection of this place! my heart is racing!
Your photos look amazing. I need to visit Skye, for sure!

This island just looks so inspiring and magical xx
wow, it looks like such an amazing place. the photos are wonderful!
it looks gorgeous. i can only imagine how incredible it is in person. i love being in a place that is so beautiful that you can't describe it with words and a picture can't capture it. it only lives in your memory once you leave, and that's so special.
Your photos are just incredible. That gorgeous blue sky really jumps out!
WOW WOW WOW.
It's like an advertisement! Every single shot looks fantastic....you are so talented at... well.. life! haha. Hope youre having a good week.
I think it is incredibly difficult to capture a place with photos, well at least all of its beauty and honestly these are some of the most beautiful pictures I have seen in a long time. Olivia I am so happy you are having a wonderful trip. I seriously want to come visit South Carolina and would love to have a blogger get together. Sending you a hug and keep on living a beautiful life! XO
So gorgeous! I love the gorgeous greens and blues. Making me want to visit Scotland!
I'm so jealous of you right now. I love looking at all your beautiful photos! I'm so glad you're having a delicious time. xo
wow that looks stunning :) what a lovely day!
I can see why it's named "Skye"! It looks like you are the top of the world in some of these photos. It makes me want to visit! Thanks so much for sharing!
Your pictures are incredible and if Skye is more beautiful in person... then it must be a little slice of heaven on earth!
oh my gosh, I cannot describe to you how jealous I am!! Those pictures are amazing! I can't even imagine being there in person!!!!!!!!!!!!! MISS YOU MUCHO!
Oh, my gosh! I've wanted to visit Skye since J. Crew did a photo shoot there a few years ago. I think your pictures are even more inspiring than theirs! I'm off to research flights to Scotland :)
I went there a couple of years ago, I don't know why I don't go more as I live so near. The drive from Armadale to Portree is incredible! x
