Thankfully the rains had stopped and so we made our way to breakfast under cloudy skies (best you can hope for here) and took photos of the fancy scotches ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050024 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050025 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050026 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050027 before heading to Uig where this sign for the dog collection was ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050028 and then driving on a backroad to the fairy structures which were quite remarkable ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050029 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050030 including this peak that you could reach and walk through ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050031 and these Stonehenge like symbols which were much more recent ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050032 but from which the rocks were highly visible ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050033 and from above the symbols could be viewed ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050034 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050035 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050036 along with remarkable views down ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050037 as we admired the views ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050038 and the flowing water ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050039 before deciding that this was just a symbol to let us know how to find our way back ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050040 as we admired the sheep who had claimed this peak for himself ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050041 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050042 and found the source of the water falling. ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050043 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050044 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050045 along with the sheep in the valley ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050046 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050047 who Suzanne admired ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050048 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050049 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050050 as we watched the people on top of the cliffs and the view they were seeing ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050051 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050052 plus that which was between us ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050053 which the sheep seemed to enjoy ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050054 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050055 even as Suzanne gathered some of their wool ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050056 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050057 and we continued to enjoy what we were seeing. ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050058

Next, we took another single track road to the Quiraing ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050059 where there were cliffs in the background ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050060 formations near us ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050061 and a trail we took to get away from the road ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050062 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050063 and see sites such as this ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050064 set across a remarkable panorama ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050065 with civilization in Staffin far in the distance ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050066 even as we did these self portraits ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050067 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050068 and admired the small wild flowers nearby. ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050069 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050070 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050071 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050072 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050073

Next we stopped at a place where there were dinosaur tracks ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050074 and the kilt rock formation ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050075 and a waterfall ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050076 and read the description of kilt rock ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050077 before admiring structures in both directions ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050078 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050079 and then determining that this was the one true kilt rock. ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050080 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050081 On our way back, we recorded the dinosaur foot prints ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050082 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050083 and I measured my foot against those of the ancients, though they probably didn't wear shoes. ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050084 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050085 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050086

At our next stop, I recorded this Scottish license plate ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050087 and we made our way down a path thinking we were seeing one thing ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050088 complete with foot prints ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050089 and seeing a waterfall ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050090 and learning the story of Skye Diatomite, which is closely related to dynamite ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050091 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050092 as Suzanne posed for the walk back ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050093 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050094 and we then made our way to the Old man of Stor though the path was steep and we were tired and/or lazy and so decided to head to Portree ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050095 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050096 and have this hummus instead. ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050097

Back at Kinloch, we were presented with our menus for the evening ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050098 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050099 and I admired the flowers on the way to dinner ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050100 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050101 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050102 before we had our drinks ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050103 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050104 and canapes ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050105 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050106 before sitting down to eat and aiming for the perfect water picture ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050107 followed by the butters which were actually a repeat from the day before ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050108 and the flower on the table ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050109 as soup was served ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050110 followed by the special course ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050111 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050112 and the next course ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050113 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050114 until finally the main course arrived and Suzanne's was studied ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050115 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050116 as was mine. ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050117 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050118 At meal's end, Suzanne opted for the cheese which brought these crackers ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050119 and jam ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050120 and were chosen from this menu, except for the 2 missing from the menu, ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050121 and served on this plate which we had watched being prepared the night before ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050122 as my dessert was served ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050123 and Suzanne's became this. ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050124 After the petit fours ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050125 we got full service and declared it a day. ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.25-07.14.13EnglandAndScotland//P1050126
