Red Skye at Night takes Harry and Hope on a journey through the Highlands of Scotland. It’s a sexy, eventful trip, finally ending up on the Isle of Skye where Harry is determined to search for his ancestral roots.
It’s some years since I was on Skye, but I remember my visit there vividly. It’s an isolated, windswept place blessed with stunning scenery. The landscape is truly spectacular, beautiful and dramatic certainly but also rugged and harsh in many respects. The climate too can be equally unforgiving. I have no doubt at all that the crofters of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries had a hard time dragging a living from the land. Harry’s ancestors were a tough breed of people.
