We got up early and decided to walk up to the Old Man of Storr. It was 300m of ascent and just over a mile. It was windy but dry with occasional sunshine. There are quite spectacular rock cliffs and formations.
By the time we went down it was getting very busy with walkers.
We then drove north up to Lealt Falls and walked to the viewpoint. It wasn't that impressive really.
We next drove to the Quiraing, passing a car in a ditch on the way. We walked through the Quiraing, passing the rock formations called The Prison, The Needle and The Table.
We walked back over the top of the hill, with good views down to the crofts below at the coast.
It was pretty steep and muddy on the way down.
After this we drove round the top of the island, visiting the Folk Museum on the way. It has restored croft houses, workshops etc., very interesting.
At Uig we drove through the Fairy Glen, without stopping.
We decided to stay at the camp site at Dunvegan. It was a spectacular spot at the end of the sea loch.
From the campervan we watched a heron fishing on the shore.
For dinner we had spicy chicken and vegetables. It was windy at night too.
