Scotland Tour - Day 2 - Isle of Skye



We landed on Skye and headed north to Portree where we looked for accommodation. Eventually we found a B&B.




Making to most of the glorious weather, we dumped our gear and headed up the northern loop.




Up and across a spectacular single-track mountain pass and we were at Uig by 21h00.





Scrumptious dinner at the pier on Loch Snizort and we carved the roads back to Portree in the twilight. In Portree we found a folk band playing at one of the Inns to round off the night with a pint... a great day on the road!


This is just after 22h00... at 57.58 degrees north and so close to solstice, it's still light at midnight...
