You wouldn't know it here though...!
There's a few fairy lights in a couple of shops in Dunvegan, and our neighbour with children has a decorated tree in the garden. Portree has a few coloured lights in the streets and a Christmas tree in Somerled Square and that's about it.
Traditionally, Christmas is not a big event in Scotland, though the Scots make a bit more effort with New Year (hogmanay). I'm personally very happy with this, as I am not a fan of Christmas 'hype'. It's slightly odd for everything here to be quiet and normal, while the TV shows work themselves towards a Christmas frenzy.
Fancy a quiet Christmas? Skye could be just the place!
