Day 11: Hiking in Scotland

Another big day planned for today and it is raining quite a bit. We drove north to The Old Man of Storr first thing. 


It was raining and super foggy,  we hiked a few miles and went around Mr. Storr. 

After the hike we drove back to the closed Oyster Shed from the day before. Success!  Cheap oysters, lobster and scallops.  The oysters are even cheaper if you shuck your own, but I'm not a scientist. Please deliver my food ready to be consumed. 


We were cold and needed coffee so we asked the Oyster Lady where to go.  She told us that there was a tee shop in Eynort. So we were Eynort bound. She failed to mention that the Tee shop is the ONLY thing in Eynort. They should just call the town "Tee Town", population: 2. 

We were driving on a single track road across the countryside. No houses in sight.


Ok! We are on the right track!  Then we found it! It kind of stood out...


There is absolutely nothing around this place. There were about ten other people  that were in need of caffeine. The coffee was ok. 

Next up was the Fairy Glen. Fairies for sure live there. It was magical and now you have a friend that probably/maybe has fairy connections. 


We really did a lot today! Next up, Quaring. This is another hike. We actually didn't make it all the way up. It was raining, and getting dark and foggy. I was a little worried about getting back to the car.  The views were beyond impressive. Scotland just kills it. I wish the blog pictures weren't uploaded at such a poor quality. 


That last picture is of a sheep that blocked the road. He was super awkward and just looked at us for a while. 

Tomorrow we leave Skye and head to Aberlour for two days of Distillery touring. 

Cheers.
