We bought a wee deal for 2 nights in Skye a couple of months ago and we were incredibly lucky when last weekend arrived and the weather was stunning! Blue Skye , bone dry and very little wind so off we set very excited for our first trip "over the sea"
Took our time driving up from Glasgiw and stopped off at Fort William for Lunch , Many places for pictures en route and then a last coffee at Eilleen Donan castel (and more pics) before arriving at Duisdale.
Anyway I'll not bore with lost of typing but say the hills were majestic and magical, the food tasy and fresh and the walking great fun and better than most I have had. - we ill be back for more! Here' some pics and words to highlight!
