Bradford, Skye to Ballachulish near Fort Williams

This morning after going back to the Coffee Bothy for breakfast we left the Isle of Skye and headed south.

The Isle of Skye Bridge
We stopped at several scenic spots along our route. This is the Murchison Memorial overlooking the coast. It was a short hike off the road.
We stopped at Eilean Dolan Castle

The Eilean Dolan Castle location was first occupied in the 6th century. The current castle was rebuilt and opened in 1932. We didn’t go inside but we enjoyed walking along the shore in front.

Our last stop was at the Commando Memorial in Spean Bridge

We are staying at the Isles of Glencoe Hotel. When we got to our room it was very cold. We asked a housekeeping lady how to turn on the heat. She said to call the front desk. It turns out that the front desk controls the heat in all the rooms. They turned ours up to 19c. When we got back from playing cards the heat was still off. We called again and they turned it up to 22c. When that didn’t work they sent someone up to the room who determined that the heat didn’t work! Eventually a space heater was delivered. Now we are quite comfortable.

We ate dinner in the hotel restaurant. I had mussels. They were delicious.
