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
before heading to Uig where this sign for the dog collection was
and then driving on a backroad to the fairy structures which were quite remarkable
including this peak that you could reach and walk through
and these Stonehenge like symbols which were much more recent
but from which the rocks were highly visible
and from above the symbols could be viewed
along with remarkable views down
as we admired the views
and the flowing water
before deciding that this was just a symbol to let us know how to find our way back
as we admired the sheep who had claimed this peak for himself
and found the source of the water falling.
along with the sheep in the valley
who Suzanne admired
as we watched the people on top of the cliffs and the view they were seeing
plus that which was between us
which the sheep seemed to enjoy
even as Suzanne gathered some of their wool
and we continued to enjoy what we were seeing.
Next, we took another single track road to the Quiraing
where there were cliffs in the background
formations near us
and a trail we took to get away from the road
and see sites such as this
set across a remarkable panorama
with civilization in Staffin far in the distance
even as we did these self portraits
and admired the small wild flowers nearby.
Next we stopped at a place where there were dinosaur tracks
and the kilt rock formation
and a waterfall
and read the description of kilt rock
before admiring structures in both directions
and then determining that this was the one true kilt rock.
On our way back, we recorded the dinosaur foot prints
and I measured my foot against those of the ancients, though they probably didn't wear shoes.
At our next stop, I recorded this Scottish license plate
and we made our way down a path thinking we were seeing one thing
complete with foot prints
and seeing a waterfall
and learning the story of Skye Diatomite, which is closely related to dynamite
as Suzanne posed for the walk back
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
and have this hummus instead.
Back at Kinloch, we were presented with our menus for the evening
and I admired the flowers on the way to dinner
before we had our drinks
and canapes
before sitting down to eat and aiming for the perfect water picture
followed by the butters which were actually a repeat from the day before
and the flower on the table
as soup was served
followed by the special course
and the next course
until finally the main course arrived and Suzanne's was studied
as was mine.
At meal's end, Suzanne opted for the cheese which brought these crackers
and jam
and were chosen from this menu, except for the 2 missing from the menu,
and served on this plate which we had watched being prepared the night before
as my dessert was served
and Suzanne's became this.
After the petit fours
we got full service and declared it a day.
