Exciting day today. We’re on our way to the Isle of Skye, which we have wanted to visit for many years. But we’ll start the day heading west, before continuing north.
Photo of the day
So tranquil, along the road to the Aird of Sleat.
Ardnamurchan
On our way to Ardnamurchan, the most westerly point on the British Mainland.Quick photo stop.And we arrived!…and despite being literally on the edge of the land we could have charged our electric car (handy, if we had one).Mingary Castle, we couldn’t visit as the ruin was under renovation.Yay! Another lighthouse. Of course we couldn’t visit this most westerly point without dropping by on Ardnamurchan Lighthouse. The only Egyptian style lighthouse in the UK. This one was open to the public and had a small museum, we had a little look around before realising that we were meant to pay…
Ardslignish
Driving back east we came to this little bay near Ardslignish, and look.. cows sunbathing on the beach.Scottish cows do seem to enjoy the beach, well why not?Beautiful views along the country lanes.
Ardtoe
Doing a bit of marketing, however absolutely no one else around at the secluded beach near Ardtoe, so not sure who we were marketing too… 😉
Loch Ailort
Views down Loch Ailort. After a very quiet morning (which we loved), all of a sudden it started getting busier as we joined the rest of the road trippers heading to Mallaig to get the ferry over to the Isle of Skye.
Mallaig to Armadale
A bit of a chilly sail over to Armadale on the Isle of Skye.But what dramatic scenery looking up the Sound of Sleat.
Aird of Sleat
Along the road to the Aird of Sleat, the most southerly point of the Isle of Skye.Loving the Isle of Skye already, and only been here 15 minutes! Next stop Broadford for the first of 3 nights on the Isle of Skye.
Broadford
In a hostal tonight, so we treated ourselves to baked beans on toast 😉

fond memories of Ardnamurchan!
…and so quiet at the most westerly point of mainland Britain. BTW – On day 24 we visited Dunnet Head (most northerly point), day 35 Ness Point (most easterly point), and on day 45 Lizard Point (most southerly point)!
