Well the Isle of Skye thing was because I noticed Portree was on the mainland I visited the Isle of Skye in 1987. My goodness! Was that really 30 years ago?
The only way to get there back then was by boat/ferry. We were there for a week on a geology field trip. It was about this time too, April I think. The weather was rather mild and I got sunburnt. Refreshments were taken, adventures were had, some probably not suitable for a family friendly forum such as this one
