Snowdrops
I mentioned snowdrops in my last post, and as the sunshine continued to bless us with blue skies yesterday, I took the chance to call in to St John's Chapel at Caroy (less than 2 miles from here at Roskhill) and grab a couple of photos. The chapel itself is a ruin, but there are a few recent burials in the churchyard. It is just one of very many peaceful, spiritual and magical places on this wonderful island

We have about 4 snowdrops in our garden here in Lincolnshire so this drift looks wonderful. I do love old graveyards and may have to look for this one when we come to Skye in September.
Steve and I have been there. It was a little eerie the evening we visited, on our way back from somewhere, and found the grave of the young woman killed on the plane over Lockerbie, among others. The yard was very hushed except for the buzzing of bees. We spotted a large, active hive overhead and hightailed it out of there!
Julie - The chapel is not too easy to spot from the road, as it is below road level, just above the shore of Loch Caroy. The chapel is on the left as you head towards Dunvegan. There is a little parking area and a blue roadside sign reading 'Welcome to St John's Chapel' (or words to that effect).
Jill - a swarm of bees is not quite the 'magical' experience I would be looking for! I agree with you that Skye's ancient tree-filled burial grounds can feel quite eerie.
hello
Hello Val - welcome back!!
