09/05: Trotternish Peninsula Isle of Skye

Posted by: The Agnew Family
One of Ed's reasons for wanting to come back to Scotland was to see more of the Isle of Skye, particularly to hike the Quiraign. Mother Nature co-operated and we had a beautiful morning to do the hike --- well most of it. We skipped an extension at the end. Be warned it was really hard to choose photos so there's lots of them.
Even the sheep enjoy the view. That little white bump beside the sheep is a lamb.
Probably the worst section of the hike was right at the end. It was quite steep and you were walking through thigh deep ruts.
After we left the Quiraing we decided to check out a beach. The beaches here are a bit rocky, well this one at least.
Walking back to the car from the beach we notice these two staring at us.
The scenery on the Isle of Skye is just amazing.
After dinner when the parking lot was a lot quieter we decided to hike up and look at the Old Man of Storr. This photo was taken as we drove toward the Old Man of Storr.
The mist was starting to roll in.
The little person in the photo is Ed climbing the stairs. It was pretty much a straight uphill hike. Going down was a lot easier.
