Spent most of the week on the Isle of Skye.   Northwest Scotland. Found some fine restaurants but mostly the visit was about tramping along the bountiful hiking trails. 

We made the nice village of Portree our base. 

 

 

 

 

 

Lots of tourists here in October.  I can’t imagine the place in the summer.  Some of the roads here are one lane with passing places.  And there are too many cars on them even now. 

There aren’t many trees on Skye, but the scenery is still spectacular.

 

 

 There are plenty of sheep.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And peat bogs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some views from the trails.  The spectacular cliffs are on the west coast.
