Skye Blue
The Cuillin Mountains on the Isle of Skye viewed over the Sound of Sleat from the Glenelg to Corran road on the mainland of Scotland. The peaks on the horizon are approximately 21 miles (34km) from the viewpoint.
The Sound of Sleat is a narrow sea channel off the western coast of Scotland. It divides the Sleat peninsula on the south-east side of the Isle of Skye from Morar, Knoydart and Glenelg on the Scottish mainland.
The Sound extends in a south-south west direction for 19.5 miles (31.4 km) from Loch Alsh. It is widest (7.75 miles (12.47 km)) at the south-west entrance and narrows to just 0.25 miles (0.40 km) at Kyle Rhea, a narrow channel which connects the Sound through to Loch Alsh. The name is inherited from the peninsula to the north of the Sound, which derives its name from its Scottish Gaelic form Sléibhte (or Slèite), which in turn comes from Old Norse sléttr meaning smooth or even.
