Tour of Skye and Fort William, Scotland

Friday, August 07, 2009

Today, we had an early, 7.00am, start to catch the ferry from Tarbert to Uig on Skye.Crossing went smoothly and upon arrival we drove round to the unique Fairy Glen with its conical small hills. Then around the north of Skye and inwards to the stunning Quaraing which offered great photo opps (see image with this post).

Next we drove down to Portree visiting the scenic Kilt Rock and on to Broadford where we visited artist Duncan Currie.Then on to Eilean Iarmain to appreciate the sea views in the sunshine and finally down to Armadale to connect with the ferry to the fishing village of Mallaig on the mainland.

Ferry ran on time. Upon arrival we drove down to Glenfinnan best known for (a) connection with Bonnie Prince Charlie (b) early concrete rail viaduct and (c) the 'Harry Potter' train.

Then on to Fort William via some wonderful scenery. On arrival we were able to view a large luxury passenger vessel as it navigated through a series of locks and the swing bridge at Fort William. Quite an eye-opener!

Finally to our lodgings on the banks of Loch Linnhe.

In the evening we enjoyed a meal at the Imperial Hotel in Fort William.

Another great day. This time tomorrow we will be in Ireland. Watch this space!
