We have been traveling. A week ago we returned from a six-week visit to the British Isles — a couple of weeks in Scotland, a bit more than a week in Ireland, a one-week walk in the Cotswolds, and then some time in English cities. The photograph comes from near the start of the trip, just before we arrived on the Isle of Skye. We paused at the Eilean Donan Castle along the inland sea before crossing to the island. It was a welcome break on my first day of driving on left side of the road!
This castle wasn’t exactly on our itinerary as we headed from Inverness to Skye, but when we saw it we had to stop. The old (and restored) castle sits on a small island, surrounded by water. The views look out across the water to nearer hills close by and the higher, more distant peaks on the Isle of Skye.
