Macdonalds of the Isle of Skye
... and women in hats!
It was about 4:30 at that time, and we were about 3 hours away from Skye, so we figured we should head directly there. It was then that we first got in touch with them, after John’s grandma realised she had John’s great Aunt Morag’s number. As it turned out, they had been expecting us for dinner at about 6:00pm and had already started making it!

Scotland - Skye and Highlands
Scotland - the home of kilts, bagpipes and Braveheart but to us it was a lot like home! We decided since we had a bank holiday weekend we'd go away to Scotland for a look-see. We caught a surprisingly short 5 hour train ride to Edinburgh from London on the Friday night and stayed the night in huge dorm room in a backpackers across the road from the train station.
