We had several days to explore the Isle of Skye during or May visit to Scotland. We stayed at a somewhat off-the-grid location to the west of Portree. One day we did a popular route up the eastern coast toward the far northern reaches of the island, returning on the other side of that peninsula. Another day we headed south and east, visiting the Talisker distillery and, among other things, heading out to the remote village of Elgol on the southwestern coast.
These drives gave us an opportunity to get a decent overview of this spectacular place — though obviously it would take a lifetime to really get to know it. The drive toward the southwest and Elgol took us through some remote country and within sight of beautiful highland terrain, including these peaks under a magnificent, cloud-filled sky.
