“Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward! the sailors cry;
Carry the lad that’s born to be king
Over the sea to Skye”
The Skye Boat Song
I have already made mention, in this compendium of travelling trivia, of the hiatus on Skye that followed the first week of busy journeying, sight-seeing and experience gathering. It was good to come to rest for a few days. The weather alternated between balmy sunshine and socked-in days and we accordingly ventured forth on the winding one-track roads (with passing-places) to visit the sights, or stayed near home walking on the blustery cliffs and soaking in the splendid tub (the first on our trip) that had been one of the selling points of the beautifully presented Air B & B that The Girl had selected for us.
Herewith a random selection of images:
These photos were taken at the Skye Museum of Island Life.
This is the tomb of Flora MacDonald. Fashion designer Alexander McQueen lies nearby!
This is what you have to do on Skye if you want your caravan still to be there after the winter.
