In March earlier this year I got to visit the Isle of Skye for the first time, making the pilgrimage west to take part in Misty Isle Bricks, a TartanLUG Lego show. It was the first show of it’s kind in Skye, and though only a one day event, I greatly enjoyed the rest of my weekend on the island, making the absolute most of my time there.
I found Skye incredbly inspiring- stunning views, interesting folklore, and something cultural/historic around each corner- so naturally there were lots of photos. And lots of walking too! Some of the most i’ve done in some time, going up hills, through muddy fields, and down scree paths.
Arriving mid afternoon on the Friday -and before check-in!- I climbed The Storr. Saturday was the show of course, but also a visit to Uig. Sunday was home-time, but some further driving first, with a trip to the Fairy Pools. Throughout, I resided centrally over the weekend, staying at the Portree Hotel- an excellent mid-island base for my weekend.
I’m fortunate to be visiting Skye again next year- i’m looking forward to exploring further then!
