Day 5

This morning we were not that lucky as we were that far and got some rain. We had to take our tent and walk the 6 miles back to the car in heavy rain, which was not that nice, but added to the value of the adventure in Sandwood Bay.

A few hours and a couple of miles later it was all again sunny and we arrived under blue skyes to my long wished destination, The Eilean Donan Castle. I am sure it does not ring a bell. The castle was the set for one of my childhood favourite movie, The Highlander with Christopher Lambert/Mc Leod. Although it is a very nice castle it does not belong to the Mc Leod. The Mc Leod Castle is about 40miles west from here n the island of Skye.

See the clip below to refresh your memory...

and see how life today looks like around The Castle.

Enforced from the power of nature, I felt like I would be The Highlander....:)

We continued by visiting an other distillery, the Talisker, which is the only one on the Isle of Skye and compared to the fruity flavour of the Speyside whiskeys it has definitely a smoky flavour. Click on the pic below to enlarge the flavour map.

Our final destination for today was Portree the main harbour on the Isle of Skye, where we had a very nice seafood  dinner in the harbour and witnessed an astonishing sunset.
