There was a spot of rain which continued all day off and on.
We paid the £5.20 toll for the bridge over to Skye (and £5.20 back!). Skye was lovely. Misty clouds over the high hills, but glassy waters. We only went as far as Portree, where I called Mike in Edinburgh and had a wee chat. He's off to Loch Ness tomorrow.
We went back to the mainland, and on to Plockton, as Mum has been watching a TV series called Hamish McBeth which is set here in Plockton. Here was a huge mad cow wandering down the main street too. Completely bonkers!
We stopped at a castle - Eilean Donan castle - to take some photos, then on to a ruined church. Beautiful day to take photos of castles and whatnot.
Down to Loch Ness, and a potter through Urquart Castle at £3. That was great too.
Up to Inverness, where the landscape changed quite a lot to flat rolling countryside with intensive farming. Hay bales everywhere.
Got in to Aberdeen, which looked nice, then saw a fiery red orb disappear in the west. Amazing deep crimson colour.
Drove down to Arbroath, and found a B&B for £16.
