Isle of Skye

Friday morning we packed our bags and said farewell to our fabulous Edinburgh Heriot Row apartment.  Angus and Kirsty could not have been better hosts.  We loved everything about our  apartment.
We met our "Wee Red Bus" from Heart of Scotland Tours at 8:30 am and our driver tour guide Andy loaded up his sixteen passengers for the three day, two night site seeing trip north to the Isle of Skye.

Our first stop for coffee/tea and a pastry was at the quaint village of Dunkeld. After a quick stop for treats we walked up Main Street past the shops and the fountain at the end of the street to take a quick look at the beautiful Dunkeld Cathedral.

Back on the bus, we continued north into the mountains and a quick stop for a picture at the official entrance to "The Highlands of Scotland".

Andy gave us narration about the history of what we were seeing and made stops at interesting and picturesque sites along our journey.

We arrived at the village of Portree on the Isle of Skye about 6:15 with just enough time to check into "Green Acres", our beautiful B&B and make it to the village square for a quick dinner before retiring after a long day of beautiful site seeing.  Tomorrow is another day!
