Today we drove across the Scottish highlands from the east coast to the west coast. Once we left the Inverness area we started to see people with cameras stopped by the side of the road obviously waiting for something. After a bit of Googling we figured out that it was the Highland Historic Commercial Vehicle Run 2026.


From the Scottish mainland we took the Skye Bridge to the Isle of Skye where we are tonight. When we first arrived at Juniper Cottages, where we are staying, it was too early to check in. We had about three hours before check in time so we stopped at a nearby coffee shop.

Then we drove over a one lane road through the center of the island. When we reached the water on the other side we got out and explored a bit.


For dinner we ate at a seafood restaurant, Claymore. It’s right across the main road from where we are staying.

How was the haggis? Love the joke about the coffee.

The haggis was great. We have had a lot of it and each one was different. I was afraid it might overwhelm the scallops but it was quite mild. And the dish also had some sweet pepper sauce which was perfect with it.
