Last day in scotland

Ended the hoilday on a high with trip out to the isle of Skye once we driven out past the stunning lochs and valleys on route though rainy first thing driving up the road to Kylerhea giving some nice views the got to Kylerhea by which time it was starting to brighten up but while getting out the car all i could heardwas the sound of a Grasshopper Warbler calling and after much hunting appeared briefly after which carried on down to the Otter Hide had no luck with them but had sighting of a Stonechat and lots of Common Seals out in the river.

Then carried on back to the main road and headed to Portree but the day was brighting up quickly passing some lovely views on route. At Portree it was getting quite warm so had a nice wander and with the folk festival in town a nice festival feel to it.

Then carried on up the road to the Storr which was looking impressive before having a little walk along the eastern coast giving great views across to Raasay with the bright sky before driving west to Uig to get some views cross country before heading south back to the mainland.
