Manchester/Scotland 2025 - Isle of Skye Tour Glen Sligachan and The Cuillin (3/3)

You're gonna see a lot of road photos, cause it all signified road trip! I love a good road trip! So I've put most of the road photos as the first photo to get you into the vibe of it. Also to show you what the roads are really like where we were travelling at. Some might meet your expectation of what a cold and cloudy Scotland would look like! And some will just blow your mind how blue the sky can be at other times, all usually within the same day :D 


See here? Same morning, not even across the day yet. We are still at the same spot, but you can see the blue skies are out! There is only one Sligachan Old Bridge in the Isle of Skye, and we were still at the same location as you can see the bridge in the photo. I'm always hoping that the blue sky direction is where we were headed next!


Above is an enhanced photo, emphasising on the beautiful water running down from the mountains. It is such a Lord of the Ring vibe!


Landscape view of Sligachan Old Bridge. No cars are allowed on it, but you could walk over it.


First stop of our 2nd day of tour to Isle of Skye, it was time to move on to our next destination soon.


But I guess most of us were still captivated by the view of The Cuillin. It was such a lovely walk here. I think the bridge kinda faded into the background once you see the mountains 


And the thought of being able to just walked like you could walked right into a painting of a landscape of The Cuillin.


So beautiful. There is a man in the photo above in jeans standing at the lower right of the photo. Can you spot him? That is how awesome this view is when you're standing there. Simply amazing!


Not forgetting the crystal clear water running all over the place. You have to wear boots here in Scotland. Waterproofed preferred. The rain isn't as heavy as those in South East Asia where even boots and an umbrella can't save you. Here it's just puddles and running water with an occasional shower that doesn't really last long.


As we're driving away and towards our next destination, I caught this shot of the mountains with all the little path running inwards towards it. I would just love to walk in there. It would be one of those adventure walk where you don't really know where you'll end up at, those "why are we doing this" kind of adventure that made no sense, yet so memorable :P


Soon we left the mountains behind us, and green pasture with dreamy dark waters in loch started to appear in our view again.


It's called the Isle of Skye, and I'm wondering just how big is this island? How many mountains, and lakes, and valley does it have? It's almost as if Mother Nature decided to build an amusement park, and this was the result of it. 


Bye Bye Cuillin. I don't know if I'll ever see you again. If I do, I'll probably be an old lady by then :P
