Over the sea to Skye

I visited the Isle of Skye during my winter break. It was incredible! I hiked along the beautiful Fairy Pools to the Cuillin mountains. I toured Talisker Distillery and tasted whiskey for the first time since I've lived in Scotland. We drove through the highlands and were really pleasantly surprised that the roads were extremely well maintained and easy to navigate. It was an unbelievably beautiful drive. The sheep in the Isle of Skye have awesome curly horns and we saw wild Red Deer, feral goats, 'hairy coos' aka Highland Cows, and beautiful horses. Here are some pictures of the trip:
