Mostly The Old Man of Storr - Holday in Lochaber (and beyond !).

Eilean Donan Castle

We thought we'd have a bit more of a laid back day....

Road trip to Skye.

Portree Harbour, Skye

We had lunch at The Granary in Portree, sitting outside taking in the sunshine. Good food and great service. Pity about the road sweeper who decided that our lunchtime was a good time to drive back and forth with his noisy vehicle just outside the cafe garden - can't believe how noisy it was, and how long it took to clear one bit of road !

We carried on further north to The Storr for a walk up to the Old Man.

A great little walk with wonderful views. We didn't have time to ascend to the summit of The Storr itself - another place to come back to - as if we need an excuse....

Setting off from Glen Feshie - it was chilly - before the sun had a chance to peep over the hills...  Off we go! Jim - Setting off near Auch...
