Scotland 2012: Tuesday July 3rd

The scene: A beautiful cool dry day that was sunny for several hours. We actually used sunglasses! After a full Scottish breakfast we set out sight-seeing. First up was the Kilmuir Graveyard, resting place of Flora MacDonald. The Skye Museum of Island Life showed how the residents lived a hundred years ago in thatched cottages. The ruins of the MacLeod castle are on a cliff above the water that was an amazing viewpoint. We toured the northern penisula of Skye with coastal and mountain views that were gorgeous in the sun. We finished up assisting the local economy with a bit of shopping in Portree and Uig, small towns on Skye. Tonite we hear traditional Scottish music. More tomorrow!
