The Hirsel 'Photo of the Month'
Skye is an amazing island twelve months a year, and as a keen amateur photographer Rob has been capturing images in the 20 years we have lived here.
It would be a herculean task to show a picture for every month since 2004 so we hope these sharing these photos with you will give you a taste of the place we call home!
