Sunday on Skye
Dunvegan
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.
At the foot of the hill are the ruins of St Mary’s Church.

Coffee
Storm Betty has passed leaving us with a sunny, dry but breezy morning.
Time for coffee.
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.
Skye Camping and Caravan Club Site
However a new phone mast that we can easily see from our tent has solved that problem.

Camping in the rain
The site is on the banks of Loch Greshornish – nothing between us and the Atlantic but the Isle of Lewis.

Thursday’s photos
The promised sun was patchy but it was warm… eventually.
Turnberry
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.
