    Skye to Ineveraray

    September 16, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    After breakfast this morning, we headed to the town of Armadale and we took the Skye Ferry to Mallaig. From there, it was a short ride to a beautiful sandy beach on the River of Morar, named the Silver Sands.

    And then we are off to the valley of Glencoe and the Glencoe viewpoint. The Valley of Glencoe was absolutely gorgeous and belies the massacre that happened there. These highland Clan Cheifs were really bad people.

    We drove over the mountains and moors from Glencoe to Inverrary on Loch Fynne. The road over the Moors is built on wood logs, so it actually floats on the peat bogs. If the road did not float, the bogs could swallow cars when the bogs get wet from the rain.

    Inveraray is a pretty small town, and we did stop by the Inveraray castle. The town itself was moved by the clan chief so he could build himself his new castle.
