Scottish Highlands Part 2

Dunvegan Castle

When we arrived at the Isle of Skye is was too rainy to do any walks so we decided to drive to the other side of the island and check out Dunvegan Castle, which is the castle the Chiefs of the MacLeod Clan have lived in since the 13th century. Since my Mum's family are McLeods I was keen to have a look.

On the way we saw our first highland cow that was close enough to take photos of. We also saw lots of sheep, often in the middle of the road.

Nice views on the way

This is the image that is on all the Dunvegan Castle postcards.

and this one.

Driving back to our hostel.

There were lots of one-way roads with little passing areas like this one. If  cars are coming towards each other one has to duck in to the passing spot. Some cars seem to assume the other car will stop and just keep driving!

Another good view.

And another.
