One of little ones goals on Skye was to see some dinosaur footprints. The best ones are supposedly to be seen on An Corran beach. As with many Scottish natural sights, there is veeeery little public guidance. Here, at least, there was a small signpost.
It didn’t help much. Little one discovered several holes that might be the shape of a dinosaur paw, but I was not too certain …
Luckily, my wife had another ace up her sleeve and we drove on to Score bay. Overseing the bay were the ruins of Duntulm castle, which we briefly visted before descending to the beach.
On the beach, some prints were visible and we could all agree that we got our share of dinosaur related activity for the day. Little one was happy.
Some kilometers down the road there were some older huts roadside …
On the way back to the hotel we stopped at the Fairy Glen. The pictures do not do the atmosphere justice - being surrounded these strangely shaped hills felt quite weird (in a positive sense of the word).
Of course we passed our daily waterfall …
My highlight of the day was Skye Seafood, basically a tiny cooperative of fishermen that operate a vending machine stocked with freshly cooked langoustine tails. Dinner !
If not clearly visible from the pictures before - it was raining. Before dinner, a well deserved aperitif (sorry for the “bare knee” shot, I only brought shorts to the holidays)
Due to said vertical humidity we had to eat inside the tent.
Crackers with mackarel patê …
Yeah !
Little one did not feel too much excitement over the langoustine tails, so I made some grilled ham & cheese sandwiches.
They were appreciated by a tired kid 🤗 …
