Although most of the Isle of Skye wasn't the most gorgeous place in Scotland, some scenes were gorgeous!! We only stayed on the Isle for one night, because lets face it, camping sites there were limited and they sucked.
A family picture on the grounds of Dunvegan Castle. This castle is home to the Clan Macleod and has been for 700 years! I wish I could have taken pictures of the inside because there were bits and pieces in there that were remarkable. As always I wanted to jump the rope that blocked off the library/study room and tear into the books that were trapped behind glass cases, just waiting for very curious fingers to flip through them, carefully of course.
This may have been my favorite little treasure at the castle. It was on the sea side wall and had barely noticeable stairs leading up to this gate. You know my imagination went wild with the possibilities of its use and who had crossed under this now locked and rusted gate. We had to climb the stairs and that was pretty risky just to get close enough for a picture.

The kids at the front gate on our way out. It did sprinkle the whole time we were there, but it wasn't bad enough to make the experience unpleasant.
Now for my other favorite treasure from the trip. These church ruins were the resting place of many chiefs of Clan Macleod and their families. It was amazing to see the family history that ran through these walls and the surrounding area with the cemetery.
