On the way to Isle of Skye.

A lovely sunny morning, and before departing from Fort William, we had to stop at the Neptunes Staircase and watch a yacht going through. We've stop there each time we have been through Fort William. http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/inverness/caledoniancanal/
Leanne could see the snow in the distance, and so off we went up in the gondola onto Ben Nevis. http://www.nevisrange.co.uk/gondola-info.asp
She got to stand in some snow, that was a bit dirty, but at least it was white and cold! The walking tracks seem to have been taken over by mountain biking, and the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup was being held there in June.
Arrived at our cottage about 4.00pm, we had got a text from Clare & Murray, who were coming from Monifieth to stay with us for the week, saying that there had been an accident, so they were being diverted and it added a couple of hours on their travel time.
Not long after Leanne & I got to the cottage, Doug (my new found cousin) came around. He stayed until Clare & Murray arrived, as we were all going to his place for dinner. Doug hadn't know about my side of the family until a couple of years ago, so was keen to hear all about it.
