She got married there and now Scottish singer KT Tunstall has said Skye is the limit for her.
The 41-year-old has named the isle her favourite place in Scotland for a top travel guide.
The Suddenly I See singer, who lives in Venice Beach in Los Angeles, married drummer Luke Bullen in 2008 at the Flodigarry Country House Hotel on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.
But five years later they divorced after separating 12 months earlier.
However Skye remains a special place for KT, she told Wanderlust – describing it as “magical.”
“Growing up in Scotland, in St Andrews, was very safe and idyllic. St Andrews is very rural. You’ve got five beaches, one of which is the one from the film Chariots Of Fire, called West Sands. It’s a very craggy, wind-beaten place.
“My favourite place in Scotland is the Isle of Skye. If someone told me they were taking a trip to Scotland and could only visit one place, that’s where I’d tell them to go.
“It’s so impressive, so magical. The landscape completely silences you. My mum and dad were climbers when they were young. That’s how they met actually. They’d always take us hiking when we were kids, and I just hated it. I’d be saying, ‘What are we doing? Why are we going? There’s nothing there.’ And now, of course, I just totally love it.
“There’s a fantastic 15-mile hike I did with my parents, from Elgol, which is arguably my favourite spot on Skye. You take a little ferry from there across to Loch Coruisk, which is an elevated loch in this great horseshoe of jagged mountains.
“The loch is deeper than the sea and higher than the sea. It’s completely magical. The hike goes from Elgol right inland to an inn and at the end you have an amazing pub dinner and rest your weary feet. And they make Talisker on Skye, which is one of the best whiskies in the world.”
