Bradford, Skye day 2

On Sunday we spent the day exploring a bit of the Isle of Skye. For breakfast we went back to The Coffee Bothy. It’s a wonderful small coffee shop with great bakery goods. The owners are so friendly as is the resident dog. Even though we are spending less than 48 hours on Skye we are becoming regulars.

After breakfast we drove a loop on the Sleat peninsula in Southern Skye.

We stopped to check out scenic beaches a couple of times.
I’ve never seen a carpet of bluebells like this before
They grey cloudy weather enhanced the austere landscape
About half way through our hike we stopped and hiked out to see the ruins of Dunscaith Castle.

The approach to the ruins. Roger was the only one of us brave enough to cross the gap.

When we got back to House of Juniper we played cards then ate dinner at the hotel restaurant. It’s called The Sprig.

  2. It is scary to see how narrow the ledge is that Roger is crossing. I could not have tried it. The island has been described in so many books. It was a treat to see it through your eyes.
