Highlands and the Isle of Skye
We spent the week hiking around the beaches (too cold to swim), Armadale Castle, collecting sea glass, and sitting by the fire. Making morning fires in July was something we never expected to do! Our fisherman neighbor caught us some lobsters and crabs, which made for a great dinner. We got to hear some tradition gaelic music during the Skye Festival. We made our way home via the ferry to Mallaig and a windy drive by Ben Nevis and the many glens of the Highlands.
