Day 2 Close to Edinbane we meet the awesome Yasmin, her amazing Croft and all the wonderful Highland cattle, and sheep she rears for wool which she makes into rugged clothing fit for a Skye day. Then her husband Trevor guides us on his boat along the cliffs of Loch Snizort sighting puffin, tern, seal, and sea eagle, the eagle being chased by 4 rooks and finally a peregrine falcon who are all unhappy with his proximity around them. Lunch at the Oyster Shed in Carbost is rounded off with a visit to Talisker guided by the legend that is Billy!

Last day starts on Bruntsfield Links and moves to Greyfriars Kirk and the excellent Covenanters museum with an original 1638 copy of the National Covenant signed and adopted in Greyfriars Kirk. The only way to follow up such a turbulent period in Scotland’s history is to have a fencing lesson in Holyrood Park and soothe any injuries with a wee dram on the Johnie Walker rooftop bar overlooking Edinburgh Castle. Slàinte!

If you get a chance go here as the folks that run it are super friendly and it is well worth the tour and explore around the tower. (You need to book in advance for entry to the tower) thanks again to all the lovely staff at Mugdock for making this such a special day.

About

I’m an ex offshore Geophysicist turned writer, actor and tour guide.

I’m from Dundee and have lived in Edinburgh for almost 20 years.

While writing my first book I took time out from the desk by working as an extra on the hit TV show Outlander, filming Seasons 1, 2, 3, 4.

I began a pilot for a 10 part period drama set in 1740’s Scotland, received some favourable press and thought maybe I should finish it!
