Photos and the City

Glasgow

I left Skye very early morning and drove back to Edinburgh where my Scottish summer had started and returned the car. I hopped on a train to Glasgow where I spent my last two days in the lovely Native Hotel in the city centre. A hotel that greets you with a big chunk of cheese and a bottle of wine, what´s not to love there?

I spent the two days exploring the city and leaving my camera in the hotel. Enjoy a little Glasgow “photo dumb” from my phone. Starting with the Gallery of Modern Art

Taking the subway to the West End

Going to the Southside the next day and walking towards Pollok country park and Pollok House

Sligachan Old Bridge

The Old Sligachan Bridge is probably one of the iconic sights on the Isle of Skye. Just off the main road, the bridge is set in the stunning landscape of the Cuilins with an amazing view of the Black Cuillins mountains.

Sligachan Bridge was built between 1810 and 1818 by Thomas Telford, with three spans, this rubble bridge has a pronounced hump going over river Sligachan. Today it is only for pedestrians or bicyclists.

I started walking along the track behind the bridge, along the river – pretty boggy but so beautiful.

Bye Harris – hello Skye

It was time to say goodbye to Harris and board the ferry from Tarbert to the Isle of Skye.

Going through all the tiny isles, the ferry took the course to the Isle of Skye.

We got some company for a bit, and a school of dolphins joined us.

Hello Skye

And hello Skye – the weather just stayed a bit wet, like in Harris. On the way to my shepherd’s hut I first stopped at the Rha Waterfalls and the Fairy Glen (next post).
