    Isle of Skye – Portree (Portree Hotel)

    This post is more just photos to remind me of a rather lovely week a few years back. This is primarily because I’ve forgotten what the six of us thought about this meal, although I don’t remember anything bad about it.

    My soup and fish & chips.

    I have no idea what Liam ordered for his starter, but it was followed by steak and probably some sticky toffee pudding arrangement knowing him.

    I didn’t bother taking photos of what anyone else had, other than this one….

    Just photos on this post, this is Portree Harbour and we ended up at a garden centre, as that’s what most people do on a stag week…. To be fair though, it was at the end of the walk and I think that this was the cat that scratched Scott. We liked that cat.

    The official map of Portree was more amusing that it might have appeared at first sight…

  • Isle of Skye – Fairy Glen

    Isle of Skye – Fairy Glen

    These photos are from Liam’s stag week a few years ago, the time allowed by the coronavirus means that this is the first time I’ve uploaded most of these. Fairy Glen is named for no other reason than it has a mystical feel to it and it’s a peaceful site, topped off by Castle Ewan. This is just a rock formation and has never been a castle, but it does look like that from afar and we’re visible in the photos after climbing to the top of it.

    There are some spirals on the ground with coins and stones in the centre of them, although it seems that the local tourist authorities aren’t keen on this recent innovation. The whole surroundings are though quite magical, there’s a touch of the Hobbit about the landscapes.
