On Sat 2 Jun, we headed south to Dingwall then west to Skye based on Sandra’s advice. She said the scenery would be beautiful and she wasn’t wrong.

I wouldn’t have believed it but apparently it’s not unheard of.

The Road Ahead

The speed limit is mostly 60mph on these roads. A tad scary. Roads suffer greatly from ice and snow, wear and tear and limited budget.

So Many Photos
It’s all beautiful but Skye is much bigger than I expected. The few locals we met are so passionate. Juriaan has lived there 10 years and still hasn’t seen it all.

The travelblog bar is getting higher
Looks like a great trip you're having so far! Some memories in there for us too, although we saw very little sun the whole time we were in Scotland - and no golf courses either. Maybe they are the key to getting sunshine! Great blogs you've done too (before we leave we are going to get some more writing practice in and get the camera serviced.
