Basil and I decided to take a trip round some of the very many local beauty spots up here. We were spoilt for choice and were out for hours! Our tour included the hill road from Struan to Portree and the Ullinish and Harlosh 'loops'. The weather was amazing - not a cloud in the sky all day and it was bright and sunny. Hurrah! I managed to get Basil, shown below, to pose for the camera although at the very last minute he glanced the other way...! Typical eh?
Below a view of the township of Roag through a couple of the many 'windbent' trees!
Lichen flourishes here on Skye because of the purity of the air. Several types are attached to this group of rocks we passed during our walk just off the hill road.
I love this photograph of the Cuillin basking in the late afternoon sun. It was taken from my car window whilst traversing the Harlosh loop.
These are only four of the many that were taken - in total there were 50 that day alone!
Thank God for digital cameras...... :)

Love the photos - givs a real feel of the place. Entirely different to the scenery down here which is attractive too in its own way.
