We’re just goin up tae the Isle o Skye

A day trip tae Skye has been weel planned oot this time. Car, dug, in laws & Helen with map on the lap , supplies o hard boiled sweets 🍬 & pan drops for the auld yins😉.

We headed off from Ardgarry Farm in Invergarry at a steady rate o knots, it’s approx 50 miles so just over an 1 1/2 hour drive ahead if it’s no raining and guess what 🌧🌧🌧 all the way. We arrived at the Skye bridge (no toll charges in Scotland👍). We drove into Kyleakin just over the bridge and stopped for a blink at the pier. As you can see from the pics it was a dreich day. Onward and upwards to Sligachan where we stopped for a bite to eat at the Seumas’ bar & restaurant

(very good menu and tasty food also dog friendly). We travelled onto the capital Portree where we had a stroll around the the toon.We then travelled to Dunvegan Castle but alas the last entry was 17.00 hrs so no entry for us. Took a photo from the pier just round the corner from the castle. Travelled on round Skye but weather was against us today so no more pics, although weather was poor the whole experience on our first trip to Skye was most enjoyable and look forward to our return and a sunny day preferably.
