orange juice ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040735 as Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040736 admired my coffee ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040737 and the shared toast ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040738 before her breakfast ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040739 and mine arrived ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040740 at which point we drove along twisty roads and through beautiful scenery until we got to Mallaig ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040741 where we arrived at the ferry terminal ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040742 and luckily got one of the last spots on the boat across and so we left our car ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040743 and went upstairs to look at the views towards Skye ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040744 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040745 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040746 and on the boat itself ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040747 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040748 as Suzanne had her tea ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040749 and the ship headed forward ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040750 with our car in place ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040751 before we saw land ahead ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040752 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040753 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040754 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040755 and so drove on to the Kinloch lodge ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040756 where the reception was this nice whiskey bar ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040757 which seemed to cause Suzanne to think ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040758 before we were shown our room with its humongous bathroom ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040759 nice bedroom ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040760 and comfortable sitting room ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040761 and remarkable view ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040762 and so we sat down to use the apparatus ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040763 to make tea ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040764 and enjoy the biscuits. ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040765 Eventually we headed up to dinner where there was this letter from Winston Churchill to Lord Macdonald ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040766 and we were shown a variety of menus ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040767 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040768 before our drinks were served ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040769 along with our canapes ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040770 which blurred ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040771 and then came into focus ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040772 as we made our way to the dining room ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040773 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040774 and had tap water with ice cubes and cucumber ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040775 as the butters were presented (left was garlic and right was anchovies) ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040776 and this amazing soup was served ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040777 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040778 before our first courses arrived ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040779 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040780 followed by the bonus course ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040781 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040782 and the information about the scotch flights ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040783 together with the actual scotches ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040784 and the same for the wine flights ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040785 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040786 and then the main courses came so that we could enjoy the tasting of our flights ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040787 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040788 and this was followed by dessert which required several views ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040789 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040790 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040791 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040792 and then in the lounge, these petit fours ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040793 along with this dessert. ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040794 We were amazed as we made our way back at 10PM that the sky was bright ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040795 over the field which showed low tide ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1040796 and hoped that the red sky boded well for tomorrow though the forecast suggested otherwise.
