Travel better in Fairy Pools with the right person

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Scottish vs British
Skye is in Scotland. Refer to the country as Scotland and the people as Scottish, never as English. Scotland has its own distinct identity, legal system, education system, and cultural traditions. This matters to locals and getting it right is basic courtesy.
Whisky Etiquette
It is whisky, never whiskey (that is Irish). Talisker is Skye's distillery and locals are proud of it. When tasting, add a drop of water to open the flavours. Drinking it neat is fine but adding ice is frowned upon by purists. Order a "dram" at the bar.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Fairy Pools travel guide.
