Scarcely anywhere else is nature as rich and<br />

abundant as it is on this north-western archipelago.<br />

The wild beauties of the British Isles<br />

are landscapes full of mystery and legend, full<br />

of tragedy and fortune, that once inspired<br />

hosts of poets and have lost none of their poetic<br />

majesty since. Ireland, Scotland, England<br />

and Wales – each region has its own characteristic<br />

features, with all of them sharing a<br />

landscape shaped by wind and weather and<br />

featuring seemingly endless fields and meadows,<br />

picturesque river courses, mysterious forests<br />

and steep cliffs tumbling down into the<br />

sea.<br />

The rugged peaks of the Cuillin Hills, the<br />

highest on the Scottish Isle of Skye, are almost<br />

completely barren. Further down there are<br />

shrubs, ice-blue mountain lakes and wild<br />

streams.<br />
