    Oh my, Nelix!
    So gorgeous, thank you for sharing!
    You are so lucky to live near beautiful places.
    I need to go to there.

    The old man of storr on the west coast.

    Love my trips to Skye. Even more so that I live 30 miles away from the island.

    I can imagine how in awe I'd be...probably even more so than when you showed me around Stanley Park. <3
    Like a kid at Christmas.

    Nelix, how far of a ride is this for you?

    185 miles to get there, then did about 70 on the island.
    Could just about do it and back in a day, but would be tiring.

    Two nights would have been better than the one, would have seen a lot more of the island.

    Wow that is some nice scenery - I'm ashamed to admit I've never really heard of that place - but I've been reading up about it on Wikipedia - interesting history and apparently that bridge was very controversial - supposedly it was called the most expensive road in Europe because of the toll trolls lol. Hopefully I'll get there someday to see it all in person, thanks for sharing the pics.
