Macdonalds of the Isle of Skye
... the Battle of Sherrifmuir in 1715.
We climbed up the stone steps into the main Castle keep. First, we saw the Billeting Room, which has paintings and weapons, as well as furniture and china. There is also a painting of the famous incident when the MacRaes were dancing on the roof of the castle the night before the Battle of Sherrifmuir in which many MacRaes were killed. Next, we went up to the Banqueting Hall, which has flags, shields, ...
A long drive North
... it was spectacular. When we got home we had a really nice dinner. The next day Dad and I went on a 5-hour walk to the top of some famous mountain ranges called the Black Cuillins that were covered in scree slopes and really wet heather. As we got to the top it got really cold, so we only stayed up there for 15 minutes just looking at the view. As we were at the almost vertical scree there were a couple of falls, but the worst one was that when I was coming down I ...
Highlands day 3: Skye → Inverness

Skye was a great place, seemed about as hospitable as the central plateau, but very nice all the same. We stayed at a backpackers, just outside the “town” of Carbost, a very small village with a pub, whisky distillery and that’s about it. Must be a quiet place, as the locals ...
Idling through the Isle of Skye
We'd stayed at Fort William so that we could do a walk around Ben Nevis. So in the morning we headed off and did a walk which looked onto Ben Nevis (or what we thought was Ben Nevis) which was beautiful. I’d been warned about the midges before we got here but so far had not encountered any. When we pulled up at the mountain and got out of the car we were suddenly attacked ferociously by a massive swarm of midges. If you’re not sure what they are, they ...
