"Scotland" Scotland by GrumpyDiver

Only the Scots would come up with this name for a beer

Isle of Skye Roads

Once you get a bit north of Portree, the roads get a bit goofy. The population on the northern part of the Isle of Skye is a bit low, so why bother building two-lane roads, when a one lane road is much more cost effective.

Lay bys every few hundred yards (metres) is all you really need. The locals share the road and pass with a friendly wave. Some of the tourists think they own the road and are less accomodating...

Anyways, based on this picture, you get the idea...

Eilean Donan Castle

One of the prettier castles in Scotland, not far from the causeway over to the Isle of Skye

• Pros:Scotch Whisky, stunning castles (especially the ruins) and fantastic scenery
• Cons:Bloody expensive, just like the rest of the UK
• In a nutshell:More than whisky and castles...
