Skye is the largest and nothernmost island of the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. Several peninsulas jut out into the sea, from a central chain of mountains known as the Black Cuillins The remote, rocky slopes and rugged coastline have created some of the most dramatic scenery in the country. Walking is popular and wildlife abounds. The tumultuous history of the area includes Norse rule and domination by the MacDonald and MacLeod clans. After the 18th century Jacobite uprising, the clans' powers diminished and several crofters were forced off the land in favor of sheep farming. Portree, a harbor town, is the capital and center of tourist activities.
