Macdonalds of the Isle of Skye
... run by members of the Macdonald family as a bed and breakfast. It has very pretty décor, with lots of rich wood and antique furnishings, but there is a bit too much taxidermy for my liking!
After breakfast, we met with Morag and Campbell, who took us down a very narrow lane to Seafield House, where John’s Grandpa and his Aunt Morag grew up. It is now a bed and breakfast owned by Ewan and his wife. The interior has been almost entirely re-done, ...
A long drive North
... up through the woods to take in the viewI was very keen to ‘bag a Munroe’, so called after Sir Hugh Munro, who first compiled the list of the 283 mountains of Scotland over 3,000 ft. I’d done the big one, Ben Nevis, in 1984 with 2 friends from Uni.

We went in and saw mock-ups of normal castle life, everything from fake kitchen hands to wedding pictures in the bedrooms, the outside was definitely more spectacular than the ...
Idling through the Isle of Skye
... to me as "wee little *******s", and they really are! They’re smaller than flies, just a small insect whose bite really hurts. So I was running around the car park trying to get away from them, until they finally thinned out up the mountain a bit.
