Portree










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.



At the foot of the hill are the ruins of St Mary’s Church.



We really visited for the secondhand bookshop but the views, walks and cafe are good too.

The promised sun was patchy but it was warm… eventually.



Turnberry Lighthouse was built in 1873 by the lighthouse designer Thomas Stevenson, father of author Robert Louis Stevenson. Today it is an automated lighthouse, a bar with sea views, two marble lined toilets and two £2,500 per night apartments, complete with driver, car, butler and cook.

Turnberry Castle was the birthplace of King Robert the Bruce in July 1274.
