| On the Shores of Loch Snizort |
Another day another mini adventure on this wonderful Island. Was a bit late starting my days adventures, had to go to Portree in the morning to sort out copying my photo's on to disk as I'd filled up my memory card so eventually got on the road to Dunvegan just before lunch time. Got distracted on the way there when I found yet another random single track road and ended up in the lovely village of Stein, most famous for Donavan and having Skye's oldest pub. On the way back found the fairy bridge was a bit disappointed not to see any fairies but was a nice bridge!

After an unfortunately un-magical experience at the fairy bridge it was on to Dun Vegan and off to Coral Beach for a cycle that turned into a bit of a walk as it was mostly grass, oh and you had to walk through a field of cows to get there not too good with large wild animals so befriended a couple of elderly Geordie's who guided me through. To be honest not too sure what they would have done if the large cows had gone mental but safety in numbers and all that!Survived the cows and was well rewarded for my cycle/walk.

On the way back from Coral beach I was very pleased with my little walk but there was more thing I had to do before leaving Dunvegan which was visit the bizarelly named Giant MacAskill Museum .
On entering the museum I had to ring a little bell and was about to leave when quite a tall and instantly recognizable as eccentric man arrived. He was also very interesting and obviously passionate about his family history. The museum was all the more bizarre for the fact that the giant MacAskill had never lived in Skye, he was from Harris and had indeed found fame in the U.S and Canada. However a tenouous blood link , linked him to the owner Peter MacAskill hence the museum in Dunvegan.
