Isle of Skye

At the 9th of May we arrived at Skye. Here is a view of the bridge that connects the island with the mainland.

The first camping site on Skye was in the Trotternish mountains. It was a cloudy day on Skye.

There was a beautiful walk to the beach which we walked after drinking some coffee. We didn't see any sheep so we let the dogs run free. But when we passed over a hill we spotted some sheep and lambs so we hooked up the boys and continued to walk further down to the beach.






On the beach the boys had some fun with some frisbees.





The next morning the famous mist was coming from the sea, after all Skye is called the island of the mist.


Driving on a small but sceneric road toward Dunvegan. It was a single track road so we had to stop a lot to let others pass. We passed a crofters village and did see a lot of sheep.





We arrived in Dunvegan and we found the camping site there next to Loch Dunvegan. The site manager had a border collie himself and he knew the bearded collie. He told that the beardie is the best dog for the rough hill work. He loved the light eyes of Brego and when he spotted their long hair he asked why they weren't shaved after all shepherds using beardies shaved the dogs at the same time that the sheep got shaved. We laughed and said that we use a brush instead of a shaver.




We visited Dunvegan Castle, the last time we were here we took a boat trip towards the seals that live nearby the castle but with the dogs that is not possible.




The next day we walked the 2-church walk and this was lovely with on top of the hill a fantastic view on Dunvegan Castle and the bay it is located at.
