Day 19 - Hebrides - 4 June

Toured around Skye between the Black coolums (jagged) and Red coolums (smooth) mountains.
Sligachan to see Glamaig the really steep mountain they race up and down via the scree slopes once a year in under an hour. And they say the English are mad.



Then through Glenbrittle to the Faery pools - land between heaven and hell very strange landscape.
Melanie and Chris braved the 8 degree water (yes Ron's watch also doubles as a thermometer) to jump off a cliff into a deep pool.





1/2 lobster & chips for lunch at Carbost.
Then Portree and on to Kilt rock where 
a loch overflows in a waterfall into the sea. 




Ballanoch Faery glen - the whole area is a naturally occurring miniature farm of tiny hills, stunted trees and their castle at the top. Warned not to take anything as it might stir the wrath of the faieries. I left a little stone circle in white pebbles for them. 


There, postman pat in his little red van was delivering the mail right out on the Isle of Skye.

Uig for ice cream and back to Plockton.
