Hopeful of getting to Plockton by air this time...
Peter psychs himself up for a big trip
And we're off...
Hmm - not many holes in the cloud up here
There's one! Not enough though, so turned back and drove up.
Lovely waterfall on Skye
The kilted rocks
Kim & Jill try to keep warm (summer in Scotland - great!)
And upright....
But always cheery!
Onwards, to the Quiraing. Some bloke in orange hijacked our shot!
"The Prison" - part of the Quiraing - amazing
Jonathan looking un-shocked as Jill hides in a hole ready to jump out - after being there it became obvious it had been used for other purposes.... ich!
Jonathan & Helena with an extraordinary background of cliffs
Phew - windy up here! Helena, Jill & Caroline
The Quiraing
View east to where the sun was always shining.... we decided they must have a lot of churches there!
Now that everyone has gone back home, the sun shines and the wind dies - a beautiful Monday morning in Plockton
