Far & Away & Back Again (Part III)

And a ton more. I figured we could drag this out a bit, cause we don't have too much for pictures going on since we returned to Canada. (Except for BertPohlPhoto stuff)

Somewhere on the Isle of Skye.

This was the ruins of a church and graveyard on the western side of Skye.
One night we stayed over in Gerry's Hostel in Achnashellach. It was an older house turned into a hostel. Gerry was of course the owner and has run it there for over 40 years. It is pretty much out in a secluded part of the Highlands. Most of the people that stay there are hill walkers. Gerry built a warm fire in the main room and we sat around talking to the other people. It was fun. Gerry also had his record player on in the background. He said it would be there as long as he was there.
The view from out the window in room we stayed in.

The beach out at Laide, just up the road from Aultbea where we stayed a couple years ago.



On the way down the the Assembly, we stopped off at House of Blair for a snack. Bert got a kick out of the antique cars.







Enjoying some hot chocolate.

The gates outside of Blair Castle.
The lane way leading to the castle.

On a little trail near Pitlochry.
