However I will be going a lot further north than Skye.
It's on that little strech of north-facing coastline which is
about the same latitude as Stornoway.
So pretty remote, I doubt my mobile phone will work,
do they even have television up there

I first visited that area in the early 70s and have had many holidays
there. One late June I had a week of cold, drizzly weather which
culminated in snow above about 600 metres followed by a week of very
hot, blazing blue sky.

The most recent visit was last Christmas, to Reiff, overlooking the
Summer Isles. We had mobile 'phone coverage and television has been
available for over thirty years. A lot of places now have satellite or
Freeview.

If you need more detailed info., e-mail me.
