Day 10: Isle of Skye and the MacDonald home

Woke up in our slightly soggy campground in the shadow of the Eilean
Donan castle, and went to take a tour in the daylight. Unfortunatly,
Mo became a bit sick and missed a part of the castle while she became
very familiar with several of the WC's in the area.

On to Skye towards Armadale and the clan Donald centre (Mo's
pilgrimage) where the history of clan Macdonald is Archived and
exhibited proudly ( for there is no joy without clan Donald). Toured
the castle and the beautiful grounds as well. Loved it.

Stopped on the shores of Skye to take a little soil home with us.

Drove north for a few hours to Inverness stopping along the shores of
Loch Ness. Very mice, but not nearly as impressive as some of the
other Lochs we've seen so far.

Arrived in Inverness in plenty of time to set up the tent and then to
Blackfriars pub for lamb shank, cullen skink, couple of pints and some
live Scottish music.

Tomorrow: Grant-on-Spey
