Isle of Skye, West Scotland

Plockton is a small fishing village on Loch Carron opposite the Isle of Skye. It is picturesque and a popular tourist destination.

We went out on this little boat looking for Seals and Otters.


The hills of Cuillin on Skye are stunning in their sparseness

Outdoor pursuits and the scenery are the main attractions



Portree is the main Town. About 10,000 people live on the Island.




Dunvegan Castle is impressive and still lived in by the MacLoed Clan Chief. The Castle dates back to 1265.




Just over the massive bridge built to connect the Island to the Mainland is the well-known Eileen Donan Castle. One of the most picture perfect Castles and a popular Weddding venue



Coming back via Loch Ness, the largest and deepest body of water in the UK, one comes to Fort Augustus and the famous locks.

We did enjoy our holiday.
