On our last day on the Isle of Skye, we woke to a heavy fog sitting over the town of Portree. I fully expected our last walk of the trip to be a wet and cold one. But the fog lifted and we were treated to another gorgeous day.
Our final walk of the trip took us through fields high on the cliffs overlooking the ocean to the Neist Point Lighthouse.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, there are a LOT of sheep in Scotland. I had hoped to be able to photograph a sheep herder herding a flock of sheep but up to this point of our trip, that hadn’t happened. But the sheep gods were in my favor that day and we had to stop for a flock of sheep on the road.
The walk itself was easy and absolutely gorgeous (as you can tell by the many photos I took). No matter which direction you looked, the scenery was breathtaking.
On our way back to Portree we stopped at a small natural park where we were able to get up close and personal to some highland cows. I think they are beautiful creatures, but for the life of me don’t know how they can see when they’re wandering around.
I have wonderful memories of my trip to Scotland, especially since I was able to enjoy it with my sisters and nieces.

Through My Lens 
I’m really enjoying you;re Scotland images. Love these cows. I think they need a haircut.
Thanks, Edith. I thought the cows were awfully cute.
Beautiful photos of Scotland. I’ve never seen the Neist Point Lighthouse before. It is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thank you, Francine. Since I’ve been there, I’ve seen the Neist Point Lighthouse in a couple of movies.
I love your eye on the one where the two hills “V” together. That is again a demonstration of how you see the world through a photographer’s eye. The fog one looks as if it is a black and white photo – ha!
Thanks, Mo. I really appreciate it.
You’ve taken awesomeness to a whole new level with these!
Thank you very much.
You are inducing strong feelings of ‘got to get up to the west coast soon’ in me.
After doing this series, I think that I need to do the same. 🙂
We have all added Scotland to our bucket list! The cows are fantastic!
Thanks, Wendy. You would love it. Hope all is well for you up on the island.
Your opening shot is THE Skye I know all too well. But as they say ‘hang around and you will soon get the other seasons in the year on the same day’. Lovely what ever the weather
Thanks, David. I think adverse weather can add a lot of drama to photo . . . and a vacation. We were blessed with beautiful weather almost all of the time we were there.
You were VERY lucky with the weather
Am jealous. That is one place I wanted to visit in Scotland but ran out of time. Maybe next visit. Beautiful country.
It is a beautiful country and very friendly people. I hope you get a chance to visit some day.
How wonderful to be able to enjoy all this with your family!
