  1. The superb Skye Museum of Island Life, near the tip of the Isle of Skye's Trotternish peninsula, gives an insight into a way of life common on Skye at the close of the 1800s but which has since virtually disappeared. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/sky

  2. The Old Man of Storr on the Trotternish Ridge is probably the most famous walk on the Isle of Skye.
    The Old Man (Bodach an Stòr in Gaelic), is a 55-metre-high pinnacle of basalt rock which is all that remains of a 2,800-million-year-old volcanic plug.

    We took the opportunity to do this walk early(ish) this morning. Brodie came with and although on the lead the whole time as there were sheep about, his behaviour was exemplary.

  4. rb133 – SCO – Wandern unterhalb vom Old Man zum Fossil Beach – 2023-07-17

    Für den heutigen Tag haben wir uns eine Wanderung zum Fossile Beach in der Nähe des Old Man of Storr herausgesucht.

    Im günstigsten Fall finden wir was, wenn nicht, haben wir uns bewegt.

    Für die Hinfahrt haben wir uns die Passstraße von Uig nach Staffin herausgesucht, natürlich waren wir nicht allein und richtig voll wurde es, in der Nähe von Quiraing Steilkannte. Oh Mann hat sich hier viel verändert, wohl den vielen Touristen geschuldet. Bilder von bunten Regenjacken am massiv, [...]

  5. rb132 – SCO – Umzug über Portree nach Kilmuir auf Skye – 2023-07-16

    Es heißt wieder einmal packen und weiter ziehen. Wir wollen diese Ecke von Schottland hier bei Mallaig verlassen und nach über 14 Jahren wieder mal auf die Isle of Skye abhängen.

    Die letzten Jahre haben uns Hinweisschilder und auch Berichte von der mit Touristen überlaufenen Insel davon abgehalten. Es muss da zwischenzeitlich echt schlimm gewesen sein, vor allem für die Einheimischen, während der Hauptsaison.

  7. Another #heron photo, a quick flyby this afternoon along the riverbank in #Portree.

    This one is being catalogued under "How quick can you take a picture on your phone with a dog lead in hand" 🙂

  8. An amazing sight today as an eagle landed on a tree near the forest track just ahead of us and was harassed by the local corvid population. It stood its ground (well, branch).

    As usual, dog lead in one hand, phone in the other so, you know....not the best photo... You'll have to use your imagination to fill in the rest 😄

    ...Whenever I remember to take the camera and telephoto lens I see nothing like this 🤷‍♂️🙂
