That's Chris waving from the stone bridge over the River Sligachan with the Cuillin mountain range behind him. Pretty magnificent, eh? It may be my favorite photo of the trip.
A monument nearby pays tribute to J. Norman Collie and John MacKenzie, two intrepid British mountaineers who first scaled the treacherous peaks of the Cuillins in the late 19th century and mapped their routes for others to follow more safely.
After touring Dunvegan castle and gardens, we stopped in Portree, Skye's biggest town (population: 2,300 people), for a bite.
Passengers from a cruise ship filled local restaurants. We settled for takeaway fish & chips, but a bartender told us that people who had booked holidays in hotels and guest houses were furious about their limited dining options.
