I have been away from this for a while. Summer flew by. One of the highlights for us was visiting Scotland. I have lots of family there and we visited the Isle of Skye where my grandfather was from. For me, it was the most beautiful, relaxing part of the trip. We travelled by train from Glasgow to Mallaig and took a ferry across the water to Skye.
We lucked out in that the weather was unusually warm and sunny. Of course I packed for cool rainy weather but I am not complaining!
I am including photos from Skye. The Cullins Mountains- said to be often hidden in the mist- is the second to last photo. (It's suppose to be the first photo, but.... there are many things I have still to learn about working this blog...)The Cullins are viewed from Elgol where we were preparing to get a boat to travel to Loch Coruisk. The next photo above the Cullins photo is the view just off the landing stage in Loch na Cuilce. The sea approach was awe inspiring- the mountains, sea birds, and seals! The bottom photo is Loch Coruisk with Alex and Rebecca enjoying a dip. The temparature was in the low 80's! The final photo (at the top) is a spectacular hike we took in Portree, the largest town further north in Skye along the east coast.
