Thanks Magnolia.
Do you know if there are buses go over? We will be going by train.
I've been googling but not come up with anything yet .

*puts on some pipe music...I know Foggy loves it lol*

Well, at the risk of being severely castigated by Foggy, I love the bagpipe, and was bought up with them. My favourite two CD's and Spirit of the Glen,parts 1 & 2.
I can remember many years ago, when we had a car that could barely get to the end of the street, let alone to Scotland, we booked a holiday with National Express to Rothesey. Lovely hotel, The Glenburn, and trips out were included, and some on the mainland. One day, we went up the Rest And Be Thankful Pass, lovely views. After stopping to take photos, we were back in the coach, only it could not get a grip on the gravel, and we started to go backwards. You can imagine who shot of that coach first, tute sweet. Never been so frightened in my life.OH just told the driver to ignore me!!!. But the rest of the holiday was great. I can laugh now, but not very funny at the time.

Hi Marion, The bridge to Skye from Kyle of Localsh isn't far at all. 5 minutes in a car. It used to be a toll bridge, but now free

And doing it when they are wearing skirts as well....LOL

Just hope nobody is playing bagpipes while I'm there....lol

if you get time say hello to woody

watch out for polly lol

Hi, oh just been reading through and read the post from Woody on Skye. It is THE best place on earth..lol. Been for the last 3 years and loved every part of it. Stayed in Glendale. If you love peace and tranquility and outstanding beauty you have to visit. The year before, staying at Poolewe, in Wester Ross, we drove to Ullapool and caught the ferry to Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, stayed B+B and then drove to Harris. As Woody says, the beaches are fantastic there. Haven't been this year as we went near Oban overlooking Loch Awe a few weeks ago, over to Mull and Seil Island. But I have missed Skye.
