Visit to the Isle of Skye

Isle of Skye

From the Glasgow Airport (in Paisley), we drive up A82 to Dumbarton, Tarbet, Crianlarich, Glencoe, Fort William, Invergarry, Kyle of Lochalsh, Broadford, Sconser, Portree, Dunvegan. B&B in Rosgill.

Sally attended the Clan MacLeod Parliament in and around Dunvegan Castle. Joe drove to Armadale Castle (at the south end of Skye) and to the ruins of Duntulm Castle (at the north tip of the Isle).
