Europe - day 3

Day 3 was one of my favorites.  We continued to drive through the western highlands and to the Isle of Skye. It was not highly recommended in the book we looked at, but we knew we didn't want to miss out on it as much as we loved the outdoors.  We weren't disappointed, although we did get rain half the day.  We stopped by the Eilean Donan Castle, we ate fish & chips in Portree Harbor with the seagulls, drove by the famous landmark "Old Man of Storr", castle ruins, and Kilt Rock & Mealt Falls.  So beautiful!  We also loved how peaceful it was and the lack of crowds.  We didn't have time to see everything we wanted to - we had to make our way back to Edinburgh.  (It took about 6 hours to get back to Livingston, just outside of Edinburgh).
