Today was an awesome and busy day! After a quick breakfast I hit the breathtakingly beautiful road to Isle of Skye. First stop was Eilean Donan Castle, which was pretty cool. It was low tide so you could walk out onto the moss and seaweed and get some great photos. Then I crossed Skye Bridge and made my way down the white knuckle one lane road (still accommodating 2 way traffic) to Elgol Beach, which is a super cool rock beach. I had to skip the boat tour to go back on that intensely stressful one lane for two road, and made a stop at the old Sligachan Bridge. Then, I headed out to the Fairy Pools of Glenbrittle. Spoiler alert: They are WAY smaller than they look on post cards and promotional material 😂 Still, the walk up the mountain and back is glorious, I really didn’t want to leave! I had to though, so after shooing the sheep away from the parking area so we could get back to our cars, I headed out to Portree. It was dark by that point, so I had to keep braking for sheep and deer, but I managed to get to my really old school B&B and settle in for the night. More beautiful Skye scenery tomorrow!
