Blue Planet
My recent trip to Scotland to show my son around made me realise how much some things have changed, non more than Skye, here floating in the sea. My first trip in the 70's included many single-track roads, ferries, pot holes, few if any places to eat. We had to write a letter to the owner of the Glen Brittle hut to prove we were genuine and trustworthy....the 'shop' there was in a little house over a tiny footbridge. There were no coffee shops and maybe a few hotels with a bar, but barely a pub. There were no carparks at the 'honeypots' as there are now, and few paths into the hills....you found your own way. Now, on Skye, basically, it's the opposite of all of those things. Better???...well, in some ways, but I preferred the true magic of a world apart, even though you couldn't get a decent coffee!!
