The Duirinish Stone

The Duirinish Stone dates from the turn of the Millennium, not the stone age, and was put here by local villagers to commemorate the date.

It is located above Dunvegan with views of Loch Dunvegan and the MacLeod’s Tables in the distance.

Coffee

Storm Betty has passed leaving us with a sunny, dry but breezy morning.

Time for coffee.

Coffee by my hiking tent on the Isle of Skye

The plan today is to go nowhere for the morning as Jeremy wants to watch the football World Cup today. The last time I camped at this site was in 2013 and I commented on the lack of a phone signal – this would be a problem today when it comes to watching the football.

However a new phone mast that we can easily see from our tent has solved that problem.
