      • HOME!
        07/12/10

        Taken in the port at Thurso, near the Northernmost point in the UK.

        Finally home last night at 1030...to find both upstairs and downstairs heat pumps broken. I got the downstairs going again and we slept on the pullout sofa in the living room (well, "slept" is debatable).

      • Damn Web Site
        07/08/10
        I had a whole, nice big blog entry written and then the web site puked it somewhere into cyberspace. it's bedtime now, so suffice it to say we saw the Northernmost point in Britain, a shelling beach on the North Sea, a distillery, a castle, a falconry demonstration, and now we're in a hot

      • PORTREE HARBOR
        07/06/10

        This was the view from our room in the Rosedale Hotel in Portree. Yeah, it really stank, but we suffered.

      • Leaving Skye Behind
        07/06/10
        Today we bid Skye goodbye, but not without leaving our mark (well, a pile of our money at least).

        We left the Rosedale Hotel on the waterfront in Portree and, after a lap around the town, headed for Ullapool. Ullapool is further North and also on the water - more of a seaport since it ha

      • THE CASTLE AT THE END OF THE SKYE
        07/05/10
        Duntulm Castle is a ruin, but an impressive one. It is situated at the top of the Northernmost tip of the Isle of Skye, overlooking Rubha Hunish and the sea beyond. Today, the wind was blowing very hard: hard enough to blow some of the wool off the sheep. We ventured out to the ruins for some pho

      • Gray Skyes and Rain
        07/04/10

        Our B&B in Arisaig was good and so was the brekkie, but there was bad news this morning. The wind howled and blew rain all night and this morning, the landlord told us the ferry from Mallaig to Skye had been cancelled due to the weather! So, we changed our plans (or the lack of plans tha

      • OBAN AND ARISAIG
        07/03/10
        We reluctantly left Stirling, where we'd had such a great time. That destroyed tire may have been the blessing of the trip! We bid Mandy and David and Stirling goodbye Friday and drove to Oban. The drive was a long "A-roads," which are all you can get in Scotland for the most part,

      • A BANNER DAY IN STIRLING!
        07/01/10

        Today couldn't have been better, even though it rained all morning. Brekkie at the Stirling Highland was leisurely and good. We went to the Old Jail and had a couple excellent actors take us through the place. It has a couple floors dedicated to history and the rest is offices! Imagin
