The ferry ride from Tarbert on the Isle of Harris to Uig on the Isle of Skye takes several hours. 
Once we arrived in Uig we drove straight to our walk for the day, Quiraing. 
I have mentioned numerous times how beautiful Scotland is, but walking up the side of this hill mountain, the views were absolutely breathtaking.
As we approached the top of the hill mountain, a fog started to settle in at the top. The backside of the mountain was fully engulfed in fog. 
A short hike along the side of the mountain brought us to a ledge hanging hundreds of feet over the valley. Some of the idiots in our group thought it would be fun to go to the edge of the ledge.
Being the sane person that I am, I stayed far enough back, but close enough where I could take photographs of the idiots brave souls.
That night we stayed at a Bed and Breakfast in Portree, a very cut town nestled on a harbor. The B&B I was staying at had a wonderful view of the town from across the harbor.
On our way back from dinner that evening (around midnight), we were treated to a beautiful sunset. We stopped long enough to take a couple of photos.
Our next hike is to the Neist Point lighthouse.

Through My Lens 
You have made me want to go back. I went several times but always had up to 20 college age students so now I’m ready to see that part of the world without work responsibilities. Our 50th anniversary is next year and we are talking about going. Did you use rail system and rent cars. I’m thinking that is what I want to do.
We were actually with an organized walking tour. Next time I would probably rent a car (if I can figure out how to drive on the left side of the road). That would give me a little more freedom to come and go as I please.
My daughter recently traveled to Scotland and loved it. I hope to go someday. Beautiful photos, as always.
Thanks, Christine. I hope you get to go someday – it is a magical place.
breath taking
Thank you very much.
Skye was my favorite place on my visit to Scotland. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos of it.
I enjoyed every place we went, but I think Skye is pretty special.
A sun set around midnight.?? wow impressive… loving this trip, really looks like a place to visit…
I grew up in northern Minnesota where in the summers it would stay light until about 10:00. But I had never been far enough north for it to still be light at midnight. It felt a little strange.
Wonderful place, I hope to visit some day 🙂 Annie
Thank you, Annie. I hope you’re able to go some time.
Such deep and rich scenery!
They get a lot of rain there so everything is very, very green and lush. I guess that’s what makes it so beautiful.
Beautiful landscapes perfectly caught!
It seems as if the hills grew while you walked to their tops and rims. 😀
Thank you. I loved the rugged terrain there. Hills, cliffs, mountains, ocean . . . it has a bit of everything.
Magical …. totally agree about the “idiots” – it happens too often that people do that and end up very badly and up there in the wilderness – very difficult to rescue too.
The hills are like velvet on your photos. Amazing and you have truly done Scotland justice with your photos. Wonderful “country” with wonderful people
Thanks you, Viveka. I agree that it is a wonderful country with very special people. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming.
Maralee, they truly are … haven’t heard anyone that don’t like the Scots.
Lovely pictures. You make the country come alive. We used to live in Fort William, not far away, and I was really sorry when we moved. (Except about the rain and the midges of course.)
We were fortunate that we had very little rain while we were there which I guess is pretty unusual. We had one thunderstorm roll through one afternoon but it waited for us to finish our walk for the day.
I would love to go to Portree. Beautiful pics.
I wish I’d had time to see more of the town. We really didn’t have any time to actually wander around the town and it looked like such a cute town.
hi! I’m heading to Skye next month and I have no idea what lens to bring for my dslr (rather new to photography). what lens did you use?
Oh, by the way, my camera is a 1.6x crop. I’m still deciding between my 28mm-75mm (f2.8) or the 17mm-40mm (f4L). However, I realised that if i wanna capture photos of animals or telephoto shots, these lenses may not allow me to zoom far. I’m wondering if I should borrow a friend’s 70mm-200mm, but then again, I am aware that bringing two lenses will be very heavy. What are your thoughts or advice? Do you think it’s necessary to have with me a focal length of up to 200mm? Thanks 🙂
You are going to love Skye. There are so many photo opportunities. When I travel, my “go to” lens is my 55-200 zoom lens. That covers pretty much everything I need plus it keeps the weight down a bit. That helps a lot especially if you are going to be doing some hiking. Sometimes I will bring two lenses. If I know we’re going to visit some gardens, I would bring my macro, but leave it locked in my room on a hiking day. I hope this helps a bit. Enjoy Skye.
