"Island of Skye" is a comprehensive guide published by The Scottish Mountaineering Club in 1948. Edited by E. W. Steeple, Guy Barlow, Harry MacRobert, and J. H. B. Bell, this book is a revised second edition, offering detailed insights into the climbing routes and natural beauty of the Isle of Skye. This edition includes a revised appendix on new climbs by William M. Mackenzie and J. K. W. Dunn, making it a valuable resource for mountaineers and enthusiasts of Scottish landscapes. The guide is published in Edinburgh and is notable for its 34 illustrations that enrich the text. The absence of a dust jacket and the visible wear on the spine suggest its use by avid climbers and collectors alike. This edition, while not the first, is a testament to the enduring interest in the mountaineering potential of Skye, making it a sought-after piece for collectors of mountaineering literature.
