In reply to girlymonkey: You can easily see Skye from Bidean on a day like today. I was on Bidean a fortnight ago on a similar day and you could see Skye Rum Mull and Jura easily... I was up the road, today, on Creise and you could just see the serated edge of the Cuillin from the summit there too.
On the very clearest of days I think I've seen the hills of the Uists from Bidean too.
