Donald was our neighbour and friend for fifteen years. He lived in the small croft house next to the river. We spent memorable evenings in front of the fire with a dram laughing and exchanging stories. Happy times.
Here is an excerpt from the poem.
Donald’s house
The luminous walls glowed in the moonlight,
Gable window flickered with orange delight.
Smoke plumes rose from the chimney stack,
As charred wood aroma called us back…

I am delighted to tell you that Donald’s house has been bought by a lovely couple from England. They have worked continuously for several months to renovate the neglected property. The cottage has a new name too “Kelpies Cottage”. I must say that it is a delight.
"Love Skye-Love Nature-Love Life"
My name is Sue Wood and I have lived on the Isle of Skye for 30 years. The island is my inspiration for my poetry books and children's books.
The Isle of Skye has dramatic mountains, wild glens and amazing seascapes; it offers a varied wilderness for free spirits. There is an abundance of hidden places full of native trees, wildflowers and wildlife to enjoy, in peace and tranquility. This sensational Island changes constantly through the seasons, with wild Atlantic storms, snowy mountains and balmy Summer nights with spectacular skies. The Summer wildflowers provide a colourful feast for insects, which feed the many species of songbirds, both native and Summer visitors.
