This morning we toured Skye. This afternoon we returned to Scotland and drove through Fort William to Ballachulish. Our first stop on Skye was the Museum of Island Life where they had recreated several old crofter’s huts.
Our trip around Skye also took us to a basalt column cliff. These formations are known by different names in different lands. Here in Scotland these are called “kilt rocks” for their resemblance to the pleats in a kilt.
Back in Scotland we stopped at the iconic Eilean Donan Castle. This was our lunch stop so I got to take photos of it from several different vantage points. Eilean is prounced like Alan with the first A long.

In the afternoon we took a tram to the top of Ben Nevis where we had a view of the great glen. We could see Loch Ness and Loch Nochy with Fort Augustus between.
Tonight we are at the Ballachulish Hotel. A lovely Victorian age hotel.
