Scotland III: Staffin to Drumnadrochit

Saturday, we set out on a long ass drive from Staffin, almost at the northern end of Skye, to Drumnadrochit, south of Inverness. We started out with an early, early drive up the hill to Quiraing, but the sunrise, which had been so spectacular in 2016 was nowhere to be seen.

I was more dead than alive.

Driving out, we saw this lamb had made herself comfy.

A bit south of Portree, they had a herd of Shaggy Coos, and several cars and a small tourist bus were parked to take pics and even pet them.

Here, she's scratching herself with her horn. I petted her and probably gave her fleas.

Over on the mainland, I drove roughly the same route I'd taken in 2018 before my stomach knocked me out. Somewhere south of Dundonnell, there's a small layby where I took a took a couple of pics. Very cozy up there, by the stream.
