Skye -> Inverness -> Aberdeen

We had decided the night before, after being quoted ludicrous prices in Portree for a hotel room,
to camp. When we woke up we could literally see a wall of rain moving towards the campsite. So at
frantic pace we packed up the tent, and recommenced the tour of the island.

This is a shot of Skye’s Cuillin’s shot over the old stone bridge at Sligachan (slee-ga-chin,
gaelic for shelly place, it sits on a sea loch). As you can see the weather wasn't really kind to
the camera. The contrast between bright sky and the dark peaty heather, really had the Oly struggling.

There are good cheap places to stay here, they often have double rooms as well if you ask.
