Civilisation

After days of no WiFi in the highlands of Scotland my humans find some and so I got them to update things.

The last post was in a small cafe at Dunvegan on Skye. The weather remained windy but turned bright and my humans were forced to live without the awning, tight with all the clobber they take with them, I am convinced they never wore most of the things.

So with this faster civilised WiFi a few more pictures of places I have taken them.

This is me on the ferry to Skye, vehicles around me were complaining, setting off their alarms on every wave, such a nonsense I could not see what all the fuss was about. I am a terrific sailor and behaved impeccably. My humans grandad Thomas was a sailor during the First World War so being at home on the sea must run in the blood.

Sunsets from the Skye campsite were always amazing and the nights never really got dark. The waves from the sea Loch could be heard all the time we spent at this campsite, wild but wonderfull.

Another snap of the coral beach. My humans put a small amount of coral in a container to bring home.

This is the view I had of the Old Man of Storr. My humans climbed the 2000 feet to take the picture below from above the old man.

The coast line on Skye is huge with cliffs that rise high from the sea and waterfalls that plunge to the beaches below.

My humans insisted on visiting Talisker Bay but I think it was the whisky that they really wanted to see.

They can never resist Fish and Chips when they go to the seaside. So an evening in the sun at the sheltered Portree harbour was spent eating fish and chips. Thank goodness they didn't bring them into my interior. I know human Wilfrid liked fish and chips by the sea.

The other aspect of Skye is the Dark Cullins a formidable range of mountains that my humans looked at but had enough sense not to walk there with the unseasonable weather and winds that would whistle down the sides of these mountains reaching speeds of 100mph.

My humans walked over the hills, leaving me on the campsite. They visited Dunvegan castle which is still owned by the same family for over 800 years.

Light on Skye is always changing and reflections in the sea lochs are full of colour.

The Cullins clear of cloud.
Climbers Collie and Mackenzie opened them up for the exploring done there today.

Even the sheep have no fear of cliff edges. I shuddered on some of the narrow high roads my humans took me on.

My humans left me high above the Minch and walked the cliffs around Niest Point, rather them than me.
