Lady’s Guide to the Isle of Skye in January

You have to be a wee bit crazy to go to Scotland’s Isle of Skye in January. It’s cold, it’s dark, and it’s empty. Except if it’s unseasonably warm, the sun rises late enough to see the sky glowing orange and pink at nine in the morning, and you like visiting beautiful places free of crowds. In that case, you’re pretty wise. Or really lucky, like I was this week when I traveled to the Isle of Skye in winter.

Lady’s Glastonbury Travel Guide

Glastonbury is famous for one thing: the music festival. For five days in summer, the UK news is filled with photos of performers wowing crowds and celebs trudging through mud in their wellies. But there are 360 other days of the year when the town can be visited, and my Glastonbury travel experience took place on one of them.
