Sleat, the southern end of Skye

We woke up to a drizzly, foggy morning and took an early walk around Lady Claire’s estate (Kinloch Lodge). It was like living in a fairy tale. After a walk we had another wonderful bowl of porridge (no whisky, but nutmeg!). Our great driver/guide, Steve picked us up for a day of adventures and the skies cleared. We stopped at the Clan MacDonald estate, museum and gardens and were entranced by the history and grounds.Here is Brad and Steve in front of the castle ruins in Armadale. We headed off the tourist trail to a lovely rocky beach in Ord. Like a painting. We had a bit of lunch then headed through Portree (the main city on Skye) and over to a burial ground up island where the locals left for the Carolinas in the 1700’s.

So much history and so much beauty.
