This morning, we ate breakfast and checked out of our hotel. We had a few stops to make before we left the Isle of Skye. Our first stop was the Church of Kilchrist ruins. It was on a single-track road in the middle of sheep pastures. It is just the ruins. Next, we drove to Elgol. It is a small village at the end of the road. It is also along the single-track road. we then turned around and drove to Armadale Castle & Gardens. The castle is in ruins, but you can tell that it was once beautiful. It had a beautiful view out over the water. We also walked through their gardens and visited their museum.
Then it was time to leave the Isle of Skye. we drove through Kyle of Lochalsh to the Loch Carron Viewpoint. The views were incredible. Next, we drove to the Blackwater falls. We parked in the picnic area parking lot and had to walk to the falls. We spent about 20 minutes walking to the falls and back. It was a nice, pleasant walk through the woods on a paved one-lane road.
Finally, we arrived at our hotel. Our hotel is in the middle of nowhere. It is about 15 miles to the nearest grocery store. I am not sure I would call it a grocery store, it is more of a convenience store. We drove to it to get drinks for later. We then drove back to our hotel where we were eating dinner in the restaurant. Jay had the salmon, and I had the venison. It was very good. Then back to our room to rest up for our ferry ride to the Orkney Islands.
