Wet wet wet .......

We start the day with a fine scottish breakfast then head out into the rain and wind.
The lower road is up the hill and higher milovaig is lower down - luckily Brian spots us and we follow him to the site. The road is a loop so difficult to get really lost. Having negotiated the bin lorry and found a place to park we step past the goats and into the mud to admire the size of plot C with a view to plot B. Steep ground but plot B will be accessed via the lower road. If we were interested in both plots, the seller would throw in the piece of neutral land that seperates the two.  We decide to leave all conversation until we are inside the property we are going to view. Turns out to be a sensible move. Take a quick look at Mairi's cottage but it is too small but we do spend a useful hour or so listening to local knowledge and developing some understanding of crofting law.
Brian heads back to Portree, we decide to take a look at Dunvegan - proves to have a free car park where we sit and listen to the rain and wind and ponder the sites we have just seen.
Drive to Portree via the pretty coast road which introduces us to more areas where we could live. Decide to have an early dinner at the Stein Inn on the Waternish peninsula. What a road and what views and what plots might be available? We like it here too.
It is so windy and raining so hard that the window seats in the pub are wet because of the rain being blown through the inches thick walls. So we sit near the fire and order a fine dinner.
Now back at Carters Rest, re-searching websites. An early start for the ferry tomorrow and they have provided us with a fantastic packed breakfast so we can avoid the ferry food.
And .... it has almost stopped raining! Still blowing a hoolie.
No photos today as too wet. watch out for ferry photos tomorrow and first view of Harris,
