Isle of Skye
« on: August 24, 2020, 08:22:11 am »
We are now able to travel for our 5 day break as Aberdeen started to come out of lockdoon.

4 and a half hour drive leaving at 11 am .once we come out through Inverness that road down to Skye has stunning scenery.

Don't suppose my wife loon and Ronnie will be walking tomorrow as it's teeming it doon and howling winds but Wednesday is going to be much better.

Hope you lads enjoy your day .

I once missed the ferry from Uig on the north of the island to Tarbert on Harris. It was the last one of the day and had to stay over. Uig truly is like from another time.

I really liked Portree.

How was your trip, Buc?

I absolutely adore the isle of Skye.  I've been a few times now, camping at Portree, Glenbrittle and Dunvegan.  I even proposed to my wife at the Fairy Pools.

Did you do the Cuillins?

Got voted the 4th most beautiful island in the world .

Isle of Harris and Lewis got voted the most stunning island in Europe 2014 I think it was.

The rail journey from Glasgow to Mallaig voted the most stunning rail journey in the world.

The Pinnacle without a rope - that makes me sweat just thinking about it lol.

I've not done any hills in Skye despite having been there several times.  The Cuillins ridge are definitely on my bucket list though.

I remember visiting this place last time I was in Dunvegan - https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/skye/angusmacaskill/index.html Run by Danny MacAskill's father.  Was very interesting and amusing at the same time!

We saw that house on the main road to the left as we were heading home it's just off the main road .

Just read the guy that lived in it Angus Macaskill was 7ft8 he'd make my loon look small at 6ft5.
