We drove miles and miles on a one lane road to visit this castle only to find that restoration work was happening. We toured it anyhow and enjoyed the castle and the grounds. The castle is still in use and we were only invited to tour a small portion of it. We had free reign to wonder about the gardens until the rain returned.
Kilt Rock is named because the rock face has the appearance of the pleats in a kilt.
Waterfalls are all over the island. We were surprised by the mountains here and even more surprised with all the water running and gushing down the mountainsides.
It's always fun to check out schools in other countries. Look at the sign for the Gaelic translation.
Was the castle privately owned? Pictures are very very good.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a hard question! It is the oldest inhabited castle in Britain and is owned by the clan McLeod. The owners are not there full time but only use it as a holiday house. I believe the chief of the clan is a woman. When we paid the admission fee, I assumed it was a Scottish historical site and the fee was used for the maintenance/upkeep of the site but now I am not sure!
