The key to happiness for Ramsay MacMahon is adventure and escape. For him the city is just a base for work and it’s at the weekends that we come alive.

It’s to Skye’s Trotternish peninsula that Ramsay heads this weekend, where striking other-worldly rock formations and a kick of adrenaline are in store.
The journey starts as Ramsay hikes up to the old Man of Storr. With its famed pinnacle, this is one of the most well-photographed landscapes in the world.

Further north in Staffin Bay he tests his head for heights as he abseils down sheer cliffs with commanding views out to sea. After a good night’s sleep in a cosy bothy, Ramsay takes to the sea in a kayak in Kilmuir and also visits the magical cone-shaped hills of the Fairy glen near Uig.

Se tha togail cridhe Ramsay MacMahon, teiche às a bhaile an tòir air cur-seachadan beòthail. Chan eil sa bhaile ach àit’-obrach, ach tha sinn a ’tighinn beò aig an deireadh sheachdain.

An-diugh tha e a’ dèanamh air Tròndairnis san Eilean Sgitheanach – far a bheil creagan do-chreidsinneach a chuireas cabhag air a chridhe, a feitheamh ris.
Aig toiseach na cuairte tha Ramsay a’ dìreadh suas gu Bodach an Stòrr. ‘S gann gu bheil àite air an t-saoghal far a bheil daoine togail dhealbh nas trice na aig a’ charraig seo.

Nas fhaide tuath ann am Bàgh Stafainn chì sinn an tig tuainealaich air, a’ feuchainn a-nuas bho na stallaichean casa air ceann ròp, no an còrd sealladh àlainn na mara ris.

Às dèidh cadal suain ann am bothag bhlàth, feuchaidh e mach gu muir à Cillemhoire ann an kayak. Tadhlaidh e cuideachd air na cnuic annasach aig gleann nan sìth – neo Baile a' Chnuic - faisg air Ùige.
