Takes pluck to get to Plockton

We arrived at our cute B&B in Plockton yesterday. This tiny little fishing village is our home base while we visit the Isle of Skye. There are a total of two places to eat, no gas station, no grocery. There are probably a couple of ways to get here but our route from the Eilean Donan Castle was a one lane road speckled with sheep like you would see in a movie! So fun! But these one lane roads are not for the faint of heart! They are narrow, no shoulders and often steep drop offs or mud that would easily come halfway up your tires! There are potholes to avoid and “passing places” (small turn-offs two allow the passing of two vehicles) to watch for! If you come across another vehicle, you hope you are near a “passing place” or else one of you will be reversing to the next widest spot you can manage. Many cringe worthy moments in our drive, but all part of this adventure AND we did it!!Read more
