Macdonalds of the Isle of Skye
... when we entered the castle, it was the Duchess of Argyll, who was out for a walk/bike ride with the Duke or Argyll and their sons!
After looking around the Castle and grounds, we sat in the café for a soup and sandwich for lunch before hitting the road again. Out next stop was Oban, where we walked around in the city centre for about 25 minutes and then drove up to McCaig Tower. At the Tower, there was a wedding going on, complete with all the men ...

Scotland - Skye and Highlands
... journey where we had to stop, one being the best persevered castle we’ve been to yet (we’re just beginning though…) called Eilean Donan.

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 ...
