Holiday to Skye
The Scottish word “holiday” means what Americans think of as “vacation.” Well, have your pick, but we’re taking one for four days to the Isle of Skye with my cousins.
The trip should be pretty great for many reasons. First, it will be the first time all six cousins and significant others have gathered together–sorry, Ian, we’ll miss you bro. Second, Skye is a pretty amazing place. Third, I’m not working and will have no email or landline till Wednesday.
For you really nosy–I mean interested–people, here’s where we’re staying.
Our wee house is up in the northwest of Skye here:

The forecast isn’t great, but the company can’t be any better. I’ll post photos on our return, and hopefully have a fun story to share. Skye boats dinosaur footprints, breathtaking scenery, a cool castle, sometimes cruel weather, and highland cows galore.

You post reminded me of a song Ilearned in Scout camp a LONG time ago – know to me as Skye Boat (speed bonny boat, like a bird on the wing, over the sea to Skye; carry a lad that’s bound to be king, over the sea to Skye) – later as a history major I learned all about that lad and the significance of the song.
have a bonny time!
stumbled over this post thanks to the Skye reference, unbelievably we stayed in the same cottage 3 summers ago for the 2nd week of a 2 week stay on the island, see this blog post, we are regulars on Skye and last went last Summer (staying in Ord in the south of the island, see this blog post, all the best with your studies/placement in the UK
