Tuesday we rented a car and headed for the Western Isles. We headed from Inverness to the Isle of Skye and the town of Portree. Driving on the left side of the road was only part of the driving challenge of Scotland, I also had to adapt to shifting left handed. Not to mention there are no straight roads in Scotland. Views of the Great Glen were amazing. The mountains and streams are truly something to see. Portree is a really neat little port town with lots of shops and good restaurants. We found a nice place to enjoy the local whisky and Skye mussels.

Wednesday we made a similar journey towards Fort William. We saw the highest point in the UK Ben Nevis, and the Ben Nevis distillery. We also went to visit a WWI memorial. The weather Wednesday was downright cold.

Thursday is a travel day. I will spend the rest of my time here in Edinburgh. Out of the countryside and into the big city. It takes more than 3 hours by train from Inverness to Edinburgh.
