So Long, Isle of Skye, Hello Inverness and Loch Ness!

We really didn't want to leave Skye, I just loved it. I'd love to come back again sometime and have the entire trip be in the Inner and Outer Hebrides Islands. It has been a beautiful day! Jackets set aside, lovely full blue sky here in Inverness. Took us about four hours to get here, with stops.

The roads were nice, always a beautiful view, and never knowing what will be waiting for us around the next bend.  My favorite times are when we just meander down some side roads...

We came upon the Eilean Donan Castle. It sits overlooking Loch Duich in Glen Sheil. Say that 3 times fast!! It was destroyed by the English warships in 1719 and was restored in the 1800s.  

 

Many stops for terrific scenery along the way...

Still many snow capped mountains...

Before we left Skye, we stopped at a little grocery store and bought some drinks, an orange, cheese, and crackers for a picnic lunch. We tailgated along a one lane road in the middle of a farm, in our Volvo wagon. (still aka. Curb Buster.. Yup, everyday!) we didn't know we'd have so many guests for lunch!

I LOVE Scotland!

In the Highlands, all roads lead to Inverness, the Highlands' Capital. As we entered Inverness, the first thing we saw was the Inverness Castle. The castle is a Victorian building of red sandstone. It's now a court house.

After checking in to our B&B, The Corran House, we took a nap and then headed on foot for supper up the street in the "city". The sky was a gorgeous blue and everything looked so gorgeous!

We had pizza and lasagna for supper in a little Italian Restaurant named "Zizzi's", it was a nice change from Scottish food!

It was another super day in Bill's "homeland"!
