Today we traveled around the Isle of Skye and saw a lot of great
history. There was an ancient Viking tower where the local MacLandlord
and his wife Saucy Mary would collect tolls for the ships to pass.
When the payment was made, his Viking wife Mary would flash her
breasts for them in thanks.
We went for some great walks (previously published photos) and
generally enjoyed the day.
Then we came back to the mainland and drove up to Fort Augustus,
another fort that was built by the English (taken by the Jacobites,
etc etc. ) and finally used as a prison of hard labour after the
battle of Culloden. This fort shows up in the amazing "Outlander"
series as well. Jamie, the other main character of the series was in
jail while he was young for several years but not in this prison. He
was in the Fort William prison that we saw the other day.
Tonight we checked in to our hostel had dinner and took a tour of Loch
Ness where we saw Nessie!

Then we did some geocaching and got two caches as well as suffered an
attack of midges. Those bastards hurt!
