Five years for an adult may seem like a fleeting moment, but for a child, it can encompass an entire lifetime. This poignant realization became evident for Raymond Moore when he embarked on a journey that would shape his life. At the age of 13, Raymond's life took an unexpected turn when he found himself living on the Isle of Skye, far away from his family in Glasgow. The decision to leave his city behind was a result of an incident that occurred during his childhood. While attempting to steal a bike, Raymond found himself on the wrong side of the law and was sentenced to live with his Great Granny and Great Aunt on the Isle of Skye.

Despite the distance from his loved ones, Raymond's life on the island was filled with adventure and growth. Skye Stories, a collection of tales from his childhood, captures the essence of his experiences and emotions. These stories revolve around the girls he admired, the sheep he tended to, and the music that resonated with his soul. The first volume of Skye Stories, titled "The Linicro Years," delves into the formative years of Raymond's life on the island. Through these narratives, readers gain a glimpse into the challenges he faced, the relationships he formed, and the passions that ignited his spirit.

While the books may revolve around Raymond's love for the Isle of Skye, their account of his experiences and emotions will resonate with people far beyond its geographical boundaries. The Isle of Skye had a profound impact on Raymond's life, transforming him in ways that he could never have imagined. It provided him with a sense of belonging and a fresh perspective on the world. In many ways, one could argue that the Isle of Skye saved Raymond's life. It offered him a haven where he could heal, grow, and discover his true potential.

As Raymond's journey continued, he transitioned from living with his Great Granny and Great Aunt to moving out into his own place in Uig. Volume 2 of Skye Stories continues to chronicle his experiences and adventures on the island. It explores the challenges he faced as he navigated the transition from adolescence to adulthood, the relationships he built, and the personal growth he experienced.

Through his storytelling, Raymond invites readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and exploration. His tales remind us of the importance of cherishing the moments of our lives, embracing the beauty of nature, and finding solace in the simplest of pleasures. Whether you have never been to the Isle of Skye or have always held it in your dreams, Raymond's stories will touch your heart and inspire you to embrace the magic that lies within.
