SHE
SAID:
With
the promise of a mainly sunny day we headed of to the Trotternish
Range area of Skye, supposedly
the most scenic & dramatic area. The weather disappointed us. It was
overcast & grey most of the time. But the scenery of Fairy Glen,
the Quiraing, Kilt Cliffs & the Old Man of Storr didn't
disappoint. We also stopped at the Museum of Island Life, which told
the story of everything on Skye.
The
capital of Portree was our final stop for food, photos & fuel.

HE SAID:
There was more scenery today. And lots of driving. I felt sorry for the locals of Skye before they had electricity in their homes. Here it is, barely at the end of summer, and it was freezing cold, both inside and out. And one of the stone buildings at the Skye Museum was actually a house, occupied until 1957 by a family of 14! All three rooms in the house must have been rather full.
