Isle of Skye

The first stop of the day was the Eilean Donan castle, and due to traffic and parking issues, we couldn't get easy access up to monument, and instead found a great viewing point up ahill. This turned out to be a great and much quieter alternative. We got some photos, flew the drone and continued for a coffee stop. We then stopped in Plockton for a walk along the water, in the quiet town within a little cove. Of course, a distillery was sniffed our which resulted in some gin being purchased before we continued on again. Sligachan Bridge was the next stop, where we walked briefly and took photos. There was a walk but no one seemed overly keen. Not long after, the rain started anyways and we figured this was a good chance to pack up and move on. When we stopped at our accommodation for the next 5 nights I was blown away. Due to tourism, finding accommodation was difficult so Melissa used the opportunity to Airbnb a beautiful home as a way of thanking mum and dad for putting her through medical school. Brendan and I just leeched off her generosity. It was an incredible building; modern, spacious, it had a fireplace, plenty of rooms, and incredible views over the water. the location was the best bit, it was so peaceful and quiet in the Scottish countryside. We tried to enjoy a drink outside but it was to cold so settled for a drink by the fire on the comfy couch. The large windows meant we could still appreciate the views. We had a few drinks and called it a night pretty early.Read more
