Talk:Isle of Skye

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Transport

I don't think that wikipedia is the place for train & ferry timetables as they usually change twice a year - surely a link to the ferry operator website would be more accurate and reliable? --JBellis 17:50, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

In this degree of specificity, you're right. But it's reasonable to mention that the train connects with the ferry (and I think the bit about calling calmac to have them hold the ferry is rather quaint, and so should be kept, albeit worded rather more encyclopedically). -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 22:52, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Towns and villages

Included the places already mentioned in the introductory paragraph in the list as well. Otherwise one has a list without the most crucial items. Any harm mentioning Portree or Uig twice? Do not think so. -- Klaus with K 14:41, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Westminster representation

Wondering whether anyone can confirm the following as a list of the Westminster constituencies Skye has been part of:

  • Inverness-shire, 1708 to 1918
  • Inverness, 1918 to 1983
  • Ross, Cromarty and Skye, 1983 to 1997
  • Ross, Skye and Inverness West, 1997 to 2005
  • Ross, Skye and Lochaber, 2005 to present
