The Isle of Skye is known for it's wild beauty. The drive up past Waterstein toward Neist Point is one of the most dramatic landscapes one will find on Skye. The quiet reflection and the grazing sheep amplifies the solitude one might find on this off the beaten track drive.

This part of the Isle of Skye is the wildest and least populated part of the island. It is home to an impressive mountain range known as the Cuillin. They are often shrouded in rain or clouds, and they are the very spiritual heartland of the island. On a clear day, their grandeur can be seen from every other peninsula on Skye. |
This statue of Robert the Bruce was erected in front of Stirling Castle and looks out at the Wallace Monument. As I stood there, admiring the view, a rainbow began to glow at the statues feet! It slowly arched it's way out, over the valley and a very faint 2nd rainbow begin to emerge from the waist level of the statue. No filters!! No Photoshop!!

Wallace Monument
Completed in 1869 the 220 feet high Wallace Monument sits prominently on the Abbey Craig , close to the city of Stirling . It was from this hilltop in 1297 that William Wallace watched the English army approach across Stirling Bridge before leading the Scots into the battle and victory . A very fitting place for a monument to a hero |
