We stopped here on the way to the Isle of Skye an moments later it started to hail so we didn't hang around long.

Sun showers on the trail to the Fairy Pools on Skye. Sadly we didn't have enough time to do the full walk.

The Glenfinnan viaduct made famous by the Harry Potter movies. This was just down the road from our house.

After a chilly night we woke up to snow on the mountains! There was none the day before.

The Forth rail bridge on the drive back to Edinburgh. It would be cool to catch a train over it!

We had a big driving day where we travelled out to the Isle of Skye from Fort William. It was a really scenic drive down long valleys and alongside many lochs. Skye was very busy which meant we didn't really have as much time as we'd hoped for. I think we'll definitely need to go back for longer one day to explore it properly. The weather was very chilly which was a bit of a shock, with snow on the mountains the next morning. 

We're now in Edinburgh staying with friends and having a bit of downtime, which is why these updates have been a bit slow lately.
