Isle of Skye

Early this year we had a wonderful holiday, with a church group, which went up to the Isle of Skye

staying over at the White Heather Hotel in Kyleakin.  The Hotel was owned by a lovely couple, Gillian and Craig. who are very pleasant, and go out of their way to make sure that everyone has a wonderful holiday.

We have been there on a few trips, and I can honestly say that we have enjoyed the tour each time we go, because everyone is so very friendly, even though I no longer attend church these days, but everyone makes me feel part of the group, and try to help me whenever they can   

 Some of the rooms look out over the harbour, and I confess that I am totally struck by Scotland, and this area , on the West Coast

 The harbour with the ruins of Caisteal Maol, Kyleakins own castle, which was built in the 1400s, Not much of it is left these days

                                                            Cawdor Castle and Gardens
