SCOTLAND. DAY 9 SKYE
The rugged and photogenic landscape of the isle of Skye was the star attraction today as we skirted around the Cuillins, Kilt rock and the Old Man of Storr.
Then a visit to Portree, an attractive fishing village and the principal town of Skye.
The otter hide at Kylerhea was where we sat patiently watching for our first otter sighting. Averil and Ross were convinced of a positive sighting. I saw...something! Getting there and back was a thrill a minute with roller coaster roads twisting and turning along the narrowest of precipices. A traffic jam at one point alerted us to the potential dangers. A car had slid off the road and was bogged. Averil and Ross assisted the recovery operation with the drivers and passengers of three or four vehicles pitching in to push it out.
The day was complete when for dinner I sampled the Scottish national dish - Haggis! Served with neeps, nips,tatties and a whiskey sauce - this was a spicy, delicious meal served at the Broadford Hotel. Would I try it again? Hoch ai!
