Standing tall amongst the many strong, passionate and single minded ‘Sons of Skye’, Ruaraidh has led a life of adventure and self-determination, surviving with his indomitable spirit and the sheer joy of laughter! Being steeped in tradition, his life has been defined by defying convention with ‘constructive vandalism’. The Scots Guards, Rhodesia and the SAS laid the foundations for an amazing family, and that together with his beloved Isle of Skye, a Bentley and plenty of laughter tells this happy tale!
These days
Skye attract thousands of photographers hoping to
capture the special light and conditions. What is particularly
fascinating about Skye it how many different land and sea scapes are present on such a small island,
most less than half an hour away from wherever you are. The book has been divided into three
chapters, Sea, Land & Sky.

It is with great sadness that we have to announce that Ruaraidh Hilleary has died on the 16th of February at the age of 95.
Ruaraidh gave me the opportunity to start Skirinish Publishing by publishing his autobiography. Apart from being his publisher, we were neighbours for many years. In those years he has become a dear friend. The years on Skye would not have been the same without him.
His laughter and adventurous spirit will be sadly missed.
The Highlander's Prayer
Oh that the peats would cut themselves
And the fish jump out on the shore
And I would sit by the fireside
And sleep forever more
