Our final day began on a quiet Sunday morning as we packed up our belongings from the Stationmaster’s Lodge, located in Stromeferry. Some of us had opted to venture out on a boat with Neil, a local fisherman. We spent an hour catching our own scallops which was a brilliant experience.
Read MoreIts time to talk about the Isle of Skye, a place I could reminisce about all day! I had read the itinerary for the Highlands trip and I knew we would be visiting Skye, yet I’d never realised that we would spend an entire day there. (It’s a little odd that I was surprised about this, given you definitely need a day at a bare minimum.)

What started as a short trip soon turned into ten days exploring some of the most amazing landscapes and scenery the country has on offer.
