Looking towards the Hebrides

Arrived in Kilmuir on the Isle of Skye in time for tea,
after a glorious drive up via Achnasheen

KILMUIR (Gaelic: Mary's cell, church or chapel)
The district of Kilmuir stretches for 4 miles encompassing a number of smaller townships. Kilmuir stands at the edge of a large basin, an area which was drained to create new grazing land. Plans are currently being considered which propose creating a nature and history walk across the old loch bed.

The mound of an island, 'Eilean a' Loch' also known as 'Eilean Chaluim Chille', can still be seen. This is where St Columba founded a chapel which became the centre for christianity on Skye
