Day 2, Isle of Skye
Isle of Skye, Day Two, 09/30/2022
On our way back to our cottage yesterday, we stopped to take pictures of the ruins of Knock Castle. A gentleman walked and asked Linda if she had her brolly. Linda asked, “what is a brolly?”. He indicated it was an umbrella. He told her “tomorrow will be rubbish”. He was correct. Sometime in the night a huge storm made its way onto the island. We awoke to torrential rains and 40 knot winds. Today was not a good day to get out. A tree had blown down and blocked our road. We found out later, the road to Portree was closed by a landslide and would not be open for several hours. We had power, we had coffee, and we were comfortable. Linda and Amanda washed clothes and I finished up my school work for South Alabama. All in all, a quiet morning. The rain abated around noon and our road was clear, so we ventured out. We drove about 5 miles down the road to the Torabhaig Cafe and Distillery. After a lunch of lentil soup and bread, we went on a tour. The distillery was built in 2017. They were making whiskey, but it was all in aging barrels. A few years will pass before it be on the market. The rain had returned so we were in no hurry to venture out. After the tour was finished, we went in search of the Highlander Cows. We were successful. We took some pictures and called it a day. Tomorrow we will travel to Inverness.
