Rain falls throughout the year on British islands, and Atlantic gales are common in autumn and winter, so a waterproof layer is useful on Skye. Standing stones, brochs and early Christian chapels survive on many British islands, and Skye holds its own share of such remains. Islanders speak English, and Norman-French dialects such as Jèrriais and Guernésiais survive on the Channel Islands, a reminder of the linguistic variety across Britain's islands.
