The hills of Skye

There are several famous hills and rock formations on Skye; I went and took pics of three of 'em. There's the Old Man of Storr, the Quiraing and the slopes of the Cuillin Mountains, where lie the Fairy Pools.

The Old Man of Storr, close up.


What, you think I walked up there?


Seen from the front. The Old Man is pretty much dead center of the pic.


Right next to where I stopped to take pictures was this cute, little island.


These pictures are from the Quiraing area, just north of Staffin. Great views from up here, folks.


Grrreat scenery.


This purdy lil' tree was hiding snuggly on the side of a little gully.


I believe this is the part of the mountain called The Prison. This is a far as I got. I think The Table is behind the pinnacles to the upper left.


My cozy little B & B is somewhere amongst these buildings.


The Cuillin Mountains.


Water streams have carved deep gashes in the mountain side.


If I'm not much mistaken, the Fairy Pools are to be found along this stream, but I just didn't have the stamina to go look for myself. It was cold and windy and I had a nice, warm, comfy car.
