Scotland 4:  The Isle of Skye


We stayed at a nice little Bed and Breakfast near Portree.  Portree is pretty small but has this cute little harbor.


These are the highland cows; we thought they were hilarious & badly in need of their bangs cut.  We had to get pics so the kidlets could see them.


This is the town of Uig.  The water was incredibly blue and it looked like a very cute, small little town


Just outside of Uig is a peaceful little spot of land called Fairy Glen.  There's ruins of stone homes and stepped hills and it is very, very green.  


People through the years have obviously had fun with some of the rocks strewn about.  This design was a circular maze with money in the middle from all over the world, apparently as a wishing well.


Lambies!!  We saw baby lambs EVERYWHERE!!!  I never tired of getting excited to see them.  They are so adorable!


Kilt Rock and waterfall.  The rocks near the top of the pic are suppose to look like a kilt.  J and I didn't see it real obviously but it's still quite stunning of a spot.


We went on a glass bottom boat tour.  It sounds like the bottom of the boat is glass, but it's a room below deck with windows that you can look out underwater.  It was pretty cool.  The tour guide was very knowledgeable and I'd recommend the tour.  


Fun lighthouse


We saw lots of these cuties.  They were a little wary of us.


We also saw lots of birds--cormorants and a similar bird and others with long beaks that I forgot the name of.  Underwater we saw sea life but not much that was super interesting.  Kelp, anemones, a couple fish and some crabs.

Next up:  Loch Ness and Highland Touring
