We had booked a cottage near Portree for five nights – about the minimum you need to see just the north part of the island. I’d always wanted to visit Skye so it was fitting that we’d chosen this as a destination to mark our Golden Wedding Anniversary year. The weather was not bad – for Skye, and we managed to get a walk up towards The Cuillins and Fairy Pools, and also stretch our legs at The Quairaing – a really strange landscape to the north of the island beyond Uig.
