On to Plockton

which is near the Isle of Skye. More amazing scenery. The west side of Scotland is certainly scenic. It is beautiful. We stayed at a little town just a short distance from Skye. We stayed in the Plockton Hotel looking over a loch. It was very pretty. We arrived mid afternoon after leaving Mull at 7.00am and catching 2 ferries and driving through special countryside  

Our room in the hotel was nice and roomy and the best thing was that we could put our washing in a bag and they returned it all nicely dry and folded the same day and all for free! We had a lovely walk around the village and surrounds that first afternoon before having tea at the hotel.

the town. Great little place with a couple of pubs, couple of coffee shops, fish and chip shop and a couple of others , surrounded by beautiful scenery. 

This car was parked in the town as were3 porche cars. We think they were owned by Russian oligarchs!

the next day we went for a drive around the Isle of Skye visiting a couple of wool shops. The countryside is just amazing. I took a few photos but they just don’t do it justice. 

These are a couple of photos of the town of Portree- the main town on the island.
