The first stop was Dunvegan castle. It was, and still is, home to the chiefs of the MacLeod (pronounced mac-cloud) clan. The castle dates back to the 13th century with renovations and additions since then. As you can see they are doing a little "handyman" type work on the old homestead.
We walked the gardens and since it was a nice day Flat Ella decided to take the walk with us. She found these Tulips growing in a planter and just had to join them. When you are that small Tulips can be a pretty big thing.
We wandered off and found the ruins of St. Marys church. Several of the MacLeod clan chiefs are buried here. We were amazed at the graveyard and all the old grave markers.
Back in Portree we walked the town and spent some time watching the boats in the harbor.
Tomorrow it's off to Loch Ness. I hope to answer the question: How many pints does it take before Nessie rises from the Loch? I'm not sure when we have internet access again but when we do I'll post again.
