Scotland: Isle of Skye
The natural beauty of the Isle of Skye is stunning. We visited late-May, hoping to be there before the midges and tourist season (never mind that we were also tourists), but with a chance of some cooperative weather. While it was another place on the list where ancestors once lived, I would have wanted to visit there regardless. It felt a lot like parts of the Pacific Northwest where you can feel the land “breathe.”
The “cabins” of the House of Juniper are very comfortable! One room is a living/dining/kitchen area, and it was a full kitchen too. Then a good-sized bedroom with a comfy bed, and a nice bathroom. I would definitely stay here again.

A lot of the rocks looked like this in the Isle of Skye region.

Friendly dog at the Sprig Restaurant/Lounge. We ended up hanging out with the dog’s humans for much of the night, celebrating Kevin’s 50th birthday.
