08/05: Fort Augustus to Skye

Posted by: The Agnew Family
Once again we woke to a drizzly morning.
The Morriston falls just outside of Invermoriston. It's just a small waterfall but the water just poured off of it.
Walking back from the waterfalls to the parking lot we saw this roof. I wonder if the owner uses a lawnmower or a grass trimmer or leaves it wild?
A scene along the highway ... by the way it started raining as we got out of the car.
A little bit of colour for a dull day.
In Dornie is the Eileen Donan Castle. The guide book says the castle was built between 1912 and 1932 so the interior is not worth a visit. It does say the outside is definitely worth a photo. The current owner of the castle lives in the castle.
In case you are wondering, yes we are geocaching everyday. Looking for a cache took us up a back road where there was a great view of the castle.
It's starting to brighten up a bit and we've seen hints of blue sky.
We made it to the Isle of Skye. This is the top of the Sligachan Falls in Sligachan.
Bride's Veil Falls.
The first time we drove past the Old Man of Storr today you couldn't see anything. So when we drove past it again and could actually see it we stopped and took a photo.
When we drove into Portree we were stopped --- the pipers were walking down the street with people following them. It was part of the coronation ceremony.
I don't post food pictures but I'm making an exception today. We're sitting outside in the sun!!!!!! It was so wonderful to enjoy a meal outside.
Sun on the boats in Portree harbour. If you look carefully you can see a rainbow.
The coast near Lealt falls. The sun doesn't set till after 9 pm so we can still stop and see sights after dinner.
Everywhere you go you are watching for sheep dung or cow patties. Here's some of the manufacturers.
