All local shops stock a brand called Smidge which also protects against deer ticks. - For weather and for tidal information to visit Skye's great beaches/ shoreline it is useful to download a telephone app called "WillyWeather" which is really easy to use. Skye's beaches/ rocky shore are submerged at high tide. If hanging out down one end of a beach or walking a rocky shore it is easy to get inadvertently cut-off when the tide is just half way in as the sea doesn't rise in a straight line. Always keep an eye on an exit route.
