Armadale (at low tide)

From here the ferry runs to Mallaig on the mainland where we caught the train to Fort William, about an 1 hour 20 minutes on the West Highland Line. (It's said to be one of the most scenic train journey in Scotland. Steam trains operate during the summer for a spectacular ride but no trains matched my schedule. Never did I imagine when planning this trip I'd get to the Isle of Skye.

) Like most of Sleat, but unlike most of Skye, the area is fairly fertile, and though there are hills, most do not reach a great height. It looks out over the Sound of Sleat, to Morar and Mallaig. 82060413
