Hi All,
Another glorious day touring the Scotish Isles.
First stop was the Museum of Island Life, reconstructed 18th century stone and thatched houses. This one is a fisherman's shack.
Adjacent to the museum was the tomb of Flora MacDonald. She became famous for helping smuggle Bonnie Prince Charlie out of Scotland after the disastrous battle at Culloden in 1746.
The ruins of Kintulm Castle dominate this headland on the north coast of Skye.
Over the past week, Sandy and Elliot have taken thousands of sheep/lamb photos. This was Carl's first opportunity (using his iPhone) when two lambs ran in front of him.
The waterfall at Kilt Rock is so named due to the folding of the rock face, resembling the folds of a kilt.
Eilean Donan Castle was very picturesque. It is not someone's name, "Eilean" is Gaelic for Island.
Castles on this site were built and destroyed since 1300. The current reconstruction dates from the early 1900's.
The town of Portree has this colorful row of buildings along the harbor front.
Tomorrow we ferry back to the Outer Hebrides for more adventures.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
