I was going to call everyone that told us it rains alot in Scotland, a
bunch of big fat liars!! But today our perfect record is over as the
heavens opened. On a brighter side, we get to see a different beauty
of Scotland. It is quite a sight all the mountains rising up out of
the sea and lochs then disapearing into a cloud of mist.
From the Wester Ross area we continued south to Kyle of Lochalsh, and
then over the rather impressive Skye Bridge and onto the Isle of Skye.
First stop on the island was Glenbrittle, right at the foot of The
Cuillin Hills - perhaps we are too optimistic that tomorrow the
weather may come right and we'll see the tops of the mighty Cuillins!!
It was here, thanks to the wet and windless conditions that we found
out that Pat is NOT midgie proof. Fortunately we have some anti
mosquito incense burners left from Pats previous owners. These
effectively seem to kill and stupify the evil beasts and they have
created a 'carpet' of dead midges all over the lino. Gross!!!
Never mind, even midgies couldn't spoil our fantastic Haggis that we
had simmering away in the pot. Yum Yum!!!!
