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, ...

Once back in Edinburgh it was another easy train ride back ...
Idling through the Isle of Skye
... to the Isle of Skye. Last night I had checked the route we should drive and decided we’d go over the bridge because the other way you need to take the ferry. I had forgotten this when I programmed the GPS this morning so we were happily driving along, admiring the countryside and the little villages, when the GPS suddenly said “now board the ferry for 30 minutes” – what?!?!.
