I'm home...

I'm feeling a bit knackered, so I am going to post a couple of pictures for you all, just to give you a taste of what I have been doing for the last eight days. I'll write about my travels tomorrow. Enjoy.

Carbisdale Castle


We slept in this haunted hostel - quite a creepy place... Posted by Hello

Castle Moil


We stayed in Kyleakin, on the Isle of Skye, for two nights. This was our view. Posted by Hello

proper Haggis with neeps and tatties


Neeps = turnips; Tatties = potatoes; Haggis = sheeps' liver, heart, lung and kidney served in the sheep's stomach. It doesn't look as bad as it sounds. The taste, now that's a different story...Posted by Hello

View from the Flora Macdonald Memorial

Greetings from the Isle of Skye

Hello all! I am spending my second night on the Isle of Skye. We are staying in a town called Kyleakin. It has been a great trip so far - lots of "wee walks" (that take four hours) and lots of beautiful scenery. The first two days it rained, but today was gorgeous. Too bad my waterproof was packed away on the first day! Today we toured the island of Skye - I will have some really amazing pictures to share. I am heading out now to go for a walk along the bay - it stays light here until 11! Last night was a big drinking night and I have a feeling tonight will be too (we get an extra 30 minutes to sleep in the morning). Loads of fun and good times!! Will save stories for another time... £1.50 shooters are calling my name.
