Scotland Road Trip - Day 4

Total distance covered: ~760miles

Day 4 - And back to Glasgow

We had a hearty full Scottish breakfast today at Bill’s place (the white and black puddings were very tasty!) We drove off and made a short stop at the Neist Point, but the weather was a little too harsh for us to be out of the car! Neist Point is indeed a beautiful place. If not for the weather, we would have eagerly taken a stroll down to the light house and admire the highest cliffs in the UK as well as the sea views to the outer hebrides..

We made our way to the SkyeSkyns, a family business of sheep skin manufacture. The funny thing is that we thought we would be able to catch some hands-on experience to see how a sheep skin is processed etc, but we had not the slightest inkling that they don't do such activity until summer! For obvious reasons, the sheep perhaps need their fluffy skin to keep them warm in these few months? :p

We took the main road passing by Fort Williams and Glen Coe. Driving across the tranquil valley of Glen Coe reminded us of the settings in The Land Before Time.

It was conclusively a wonderful trip with a myriad of experiences and sights. During the four days, we moved from the coastal route to the highlands, and later on to the lakes, islands and finally across the grandeur valleys. Scotland with its rich unspoilt geographical features and breathtaking scenery, is indeed a paradise for any traveller in seek of pure serenity.
