6/19/11 - northwest coast

Sunday morning we left for the long trip around the northwest corner of Scotland and down the west coast to the Isle of Skye.  The road is one lane for about 75 miles, with "passing places" about every 300 yards where one car can pull over while the other passes.

All houses are either made of stone or have a concrete like stucco on the outside.

The pictures do not do justice to the beautiful hills in the highlands

The grooves in the hill are where water has worn a pathway down the hills

Steve & I on a pier behind our hotel on the Isle of Skye. The tide is low here, at high tide the water comes within 10 feet of the hotel and our room window looks out over the water
