HF Holidays always designate one day as a Free day when no walks are provided. As I had travelled in my own car I was able to visit the Isle of Skye, taking the ferry from Mallaig and returning over the Skye Bridge.

Walking from Glenfinnan . . .

to the viaduct . . .

we didn't have to wait long . . .

before the 'Hogwarts Express' . . .

put in an appearance

We then drove past Loch Eil . . .

on the way to . . .

Mallaig where we took the ferry . . .

across to Armadale

Travelling along the coast road past Knock Castle . . .

with views across to the mainland . . .

then beside a waterfall . . .

the Cuillan Hills . . .

to Portree Harbour . . .

with its colouful houses . . .

and shops

More views of the Cuillan Hills as we head back . . .

to cross the Skye Bridge . . .

and from the other side . . .

where we also see Eilean Donan Castle
