I loved visiting the castle right next to where you took the picture. It was very misty and damp and we felt like we'd went back to a window to an old time. Felt like our own private castle. Totally beautiful place

Oh aye, the ruins of Dun Scaich castle. Totally agree, an ancient place; you feel it in your bones.

Gorgeous!

I've been there too, down on the pebble beach

You got a nicer day thane though! :-)

Ah, your shot is taken from Elgol on the Strathaird peninsula, north of where my image is from (on the Sleat peninsula). Lovely moody conditions! Skye’s beautiful no matter what.

Oh, right enough, I thought it was the same cliff, but looking again, it's obviously different, duh! 😀

Yeah, absolutely beautiful, even if it was cold wet and windy. I love heading up the west coast every so often, adjust so much rugged landscape.
