The Haar On Skye - Scottish Country Dancing Instruction VideoDance Information
In meteorology, haar is a cold sea fog. It occurs most often on the east coast of England or Scotland between April and September, when warm air passes over the cold North Sea.The Isle of Skye is sometimes referred to as The Misty Isle. According to some authors, it was referred to in Norse as skuy (misty isle), skýey or skuyö (isle of cloud). It is not certain whether the Gaelic poetic name for the island, "Eilean a' Cheò", "isle of the mist" precedes or postdates the Norse name.
