Back from my first ever week on the Isle of Skye, awesome place, in fact my wife (Lorraine) wants to know when were going back, could be becuse she thinks I'll treat her again to a meal at Kinloch Lodge. Lucky for me birthdays only come once a year.
On approaching Glencoe with the rain was easing and the sun maked an appearance we could see the rainbow in the distance plus that cottage was close by, so it was fingers crossed it would all come together, a rain drop or three within the image but hey it was raining. So from here it was onwards to Skye, images to follow.

Thanks as always for looking.

Cheers everyone for your comments etc on this, special thanks to Jeanie for your UA, a good start to a Monday morning. Never know Jeanie may be next time, this was my firt introduction to Skye, but not my last.
I know this is more an alternative view I wanted to post something from here a little different from the normal view point, I have another which may get an airing at a later date of the more normal view point.
