Well, that's going to lead to a flurry of new roadsigns around Tarbert, when we all throng to join the ferry to Eilean a'Cheo - no longer Isle of Skye. The name change was announced today, and led to a flurry of concerned residents, worried about ditching an iconic name. Now, I'm a Lewis-based blogger, so cannot comment all that much.
I wouldn't worry, is all I'll say to people in t-Eilean Sgitheanach. We in the Western Isles had a paintjob on the official name a number of years ago, and our MP and MSP now represent Na h-Eileanan an Iar. Everybody else still talks about the Western Isles, or more often about the individual islands by their names.
Anyway, the Storr and Trotternish mountains peeped clearly over the Arnish hills this morning, so Skye wasn't very misty at all today.
