Meetings, plans and designs


First photo is view from Portree; the dots are birds
Next is view from the road to Dunvegan - can't be more specific.

We are now firmly ensconsed in room 1 at Carters Rest which we found at the second attempt after a small error in trying to remember the directions. (DON'T take the left hand turning as it is a dead end)
Anyway this is a welcoming B&B in a beautiful location; you can see the sea from the bathroom - or at least Gary can. There are chickens outside and it is liscensed. What more could we want?
So we have met with Dualchas architects - very impressed with knowledge and enthusiasm; met with Skye Homes, again expert in their field and very helpful. Also picked up some detail about planning permissions on a few plots we might be interested in.
The rain has blown away to the west, the clouds are white and fluffy and the sky is a deep blue. Have been out of contact for much of the day as we were driving through what we asumed to be mountains through the driving rain and cloud cover. Waterfalls to die for but too wet to take a single photo. Did I mention we drove through a rainbow near Kintail??
We will be keeping our eyes open for likely plots, ruins and shacks as we travel around north west Skye tomorrow. Are also seeing two plots just down the road and a cottage in Ose with unobstructed views of the sea - we stopped on our way here for a sneaky pre-view.
The only decision needed for now is jacuzzi bath or power shower? Then dinner, wine and early to bed ready for tomorrow.
Loving it so far - have uploaded a couple of photos of Skye we managed to take today for your viewing pleasure.
