Moving Day Five - The Last Post

We had to head back to Edinburgh.  It was going to be a long day in the car and we were going to end up at the Hilton at the airport.  I expected nothing from the day.

This is the Eilean Donean castle, on Scotland, just outside of the Isle of Skye. It was built in the 1200s or so, blown up by the Jacobites around 1750 and restored around 1900.

This was the weather the rest of the day, a driving rain for the next 3 hours.

Here's what you didn't get to see.  After three weeks of spectacular scenery, from Oxford, the Cotswolds, Edinburgh, St. Andrew and the Isle of Skye, I thought I wouldn't see anything better.  I was wrong.

About half an hour south of Fort William, we drove through Glencoe.  It is a small town that sits in the bottom of a huge valley, surrounded by gigantic mountains.  It is one of the most incredible places I have ever seen.  It is sparsely populated and it is a place where people go for hiking and other outdoor activities.

We were two hours into our trip and we had another two hours to go.  It was the worst of the wind and rain we had seen so far.  The roads were narrow and we were amongst semi-trucks.  We were not stopping.  Next time.
