Castles, Swords, Kilts, the Isle of Skye and Fairy Pools

The pictures from the second day are way prettier because the sun was out. We visited Eilean Donan Castle. It was beautiful and you can still book weddings to be held there.
 Eilean Donan Castle from the parking lot.
 That's me visiting ANOTHER castle.
 This is the man who revealed what Scots wear under kilts (nothing).
 This sword was really heavy!
Uh, Medieval Times called, they want their sword back.
 Frightening, right?
 We couldn't take pictures inside the castle (except for the one's above) so this is a look out point, I guess.

 Well, hey there. You hang out at castles often?


 Tracy is SO happy to be at the castle!
 The Great Well. Really?
 The Isle of Skye
 For lunch, we went to Portree on the Isle of Skye. So beautiful. We ate at a cute old fashioned diner.
 Sword wielding makes you hungry. Best milkshake EVER! Sorry In-N-Out.
 Up on that hill is Dun Beag Broch.
 Going up the hill.

 Ta Da!




 Our next stop on the Isle of Skye was the Fairy Pools. These are not them. This is a stream on the hike to the Fairy Pools.


 There is a Fairy Pool. Not like the pictures on Pinterest but still very pretty in person.


 I don't always meditate, but when I do it's on a rock next to the Fairy Pools in Scotland.
 Gangs all here!
