One of those walks I wish I'd taken the camera bag...

We've resorted to live human bait to try catch and kill Nessie so that, in time, people may want to visit one of our other 32,000 lochs.

For the first time ever someone actually asked me about history on a Skye tour today. She specifically wanted battlefields. On any other tour this would be great but Skye groups normally just want pretty pictures so I've more or less forgotten anything historical that I ever researched for my early Skye tours. After thinking for a minute I asked "how about the MacLeods getting burned alive in a church in 1578 by MacDonalds in return for burning nearly 400 of their fellow clansmen alive in a cave the previous year, all before more MacLeods arrived at the church to kill every single MacDonald before throwing their bodies in a ditch, does that work for you?" So I got to visit a part of Skye I'd never been to before which was rather nice. Who would have thought that this ruin had witnessed such horrors?

I don't remember my Fitbit telling me to take it easy the last time I did this!

The good thing about this time of year in Scotland is not having to be up too early to catch the sunrise. This was 8:30am.
