Isle of Skye, Scotland



Portree

It was quite easy to find places to free camp on the Isle of Skye. It was quiet at this time of the year but with a bridge joining it to the mainland now it is a busy place in the summer.
There are lots of walks on the island in the national parks. This one is very popular but it was too wet and windy to enjoy walking. We did see several cyclists struggling against the elements.
The first robin we have seen.
Visited Dunvegan Castle belonging to the Mac Leods.
While on Skye it was John's mother's birthday so we phoned her to wish her happy 95th. She said she couldn't believe she was 95!
