Sgurr nan Gillean from Portree, Isle of Skye, Scotland |
|
In spite of all appearances to the contrary, this photo was taken only a mile from Portree's town centre. Thanks to Skye's heavily indented coastline, it shows another view of Sgurr nan Gillean et al. On my first visit in 1999, it came as a surprise to me that I should see part of Cuillin from Portree itself. This view was captured in 2002 on an impromptu visit at the end of a westward trek across Scotland away from the inclement weather then encroaching from the east: my journey here took me through Edinburgh, Stirling, Callander and Fort William and was my annual trek to the Scottish Highlands that year. The next day, I left the island in its misery on my way back to Edinburgh where I spent the rest of the (August bank holiday) weekend.
