Took a run out down the Sleat Peninsula on the Isle of Skye down to Armadale. The views were fantastic and Pat and I had a great time having coffee and cake and a walk around the castle and gardens.

Escape from Lockdown!

I drove down to Fife a few months ago and while I was there the Scottish government brought in the lockdown legislation which restricted transport amongst other things. My mother was unwell at the time so I stayed to take care of her. Now that she is feeling better and my sister is caring for her I am free to go home to Portree.

While I was driving home I went past Eilean Donan Castle. I’ve mentioned before that it is probably in the Guiness Book of Records as the most photographed castle in the world. Usually there is something that I don’t like as I drive past. Overrun with tourists, raining, grey, massive tour buses in the way… You name it, there is a problem. But not today. I got there as the sun was going down. The loch was still and the colours from the sunset put the mountains of the Black Cuillin on Skye into silhouette. Beautiful!
