A wise man once said: "God is all around you if you’re just prepared to look for him", and perhaps here, more than many places in the British Isles, the sense of His presence is never far away.
From the stillness of an early morning where the heartbeat of creation can almost be heard, to the sudden parting of the clouds where fingers of light bring vibrant illumination, this is a landscape constantly declaring the glories of its Creator. It’s no surprise then that many return time after time to re-experience this tantalising element of Skye and Lochalsh.
Perhaps because of this, the region has been steeped in the Christian tradition for generations, and has a rich history of deep religious belief (for more information download the attached PDF). From the revivals of old, to the living faith found throughout the church community of today, Skye and Lochalsh affords the visitor a unique Christian experience. From the evocative Gaelic psalm singing of the traditional churches, to the vibrant worship of the new fellowships, there’s a rich variety of Christian expression available every Sunday. Why not avail yourself of this aspect of the area’s heritage, wherever you go you’ll be warmly welcomed.
So, whether in Church or out on the hills, with friends or simply alone, whilst here, look for God; who knows your visit may be more life changing than you expected.
