Train from Perth to Huntly, via Aberdeen.
Sunny day to walk to guest house (Hillview) from train station. Wind up with one-bedroom apt, sweet!
Walk to see remains of Huntly Castle. Cool place (could use more informative signs). Brief rain shower, then sunny again.
Okay supper at Gordon Hotel bar (although I understand their mac & cheese is pretty good).
Train from Huntly to Kyle of Lochalsh, bus to Portree (Isle of Skye).
Arrive Portree and B&B (Balloch); grey, drizzly afternoon. Walk around Portree early evening; nice place. Supper at Caledonian Cafe. HUGE piece of tasty fish, and chips.
Next day turns out to be another sunny one. Walk around, checking out most of the local businesses. Met many nice people.
Another big meal, lunch, at Caledonian Cafe.
Boat trip around the harbour in the afternoon. Guide/captain caught a couple of fish, for neighbours' supper, while we were out.
Good breakfasts at the B&B, but just when did salmon (smoked or otherwise) qualify as part of a vegetarian meal?
