Isle of Skye (2/3) 17- 19.09.2010


Almost cannot recalled when was the last time I updated this blog, how lazy am I…and I already forgot the name of the majority of attractions I visited L
Am going to finished up uploading the Isle of Skye photo before going into the new topic

The second day 18.09.2010
 Seems like it was going to be a nice sunny day, but the sun just playing hide and seek after that. We decided to cancel our hiking trip as the weather didn't seems promising. Alternatively, we went to visit the Dunvegan Castle and Garden.
Dunvegan Castle:  The oldest continuously inhabited castle in Scotland and ancestral home of the chiefs of clan MacLeod for 800 years.

There are seals outside the castle.
