Haste Ye Back With Open Arms
... to the Isle of Skye.
Now for the royal watchers out there you will know that everyone is on holiday as they make merry for the Queen's Jubilee. What we were beginning to realize was that this is also a school holiday and the only place with nice weather on the whole island is Scotland (I might have said that in the last blog but it bears repeating).

I bought the 'Edinburgh Pass' which for 20 pounds I got access to many museums which totaled well over 20 pounds, excellent deal..
