A rain-silvered A82 slides behind you as the Mercedes eases out of Glasgow and into the Highlands; windows frame loch shores and ridgelines that change from urban grey to peat-brown and blue. The trip to Skye is both a practical movement and a slow reveal of Scotland’s geology: long, glaciated valleys, serrated mountain faces of Glencoe, and the sound-sliced sea lochs that precede the island.
