We awoke after a less than average sleep courtesy of our dorm mates deciding that stomping round in the early hours, flicking on lights while half of us were clearly still trying to sleep, and sweeping aside the curtains at their own whim was the best way to start the day. Reasoning that we were awake, albeit unwillingly, we decided to start the day’s activities. As poor as our night’s rest had been, nature had decided to make it up to us by gifting us something we hadn’t had so far in Scotland; a beautiful sunny day. With the morning rays warming our weary souls we began our journey towards Portree, the largest town on this small island. Taking a wrong turn, we were soon heading along the west coast on one of the smaller roads, instead of the main highway we had intended to traverse. With both roads looping back to our desired destination though, we decided to carry on; besides, the road was quieter, and the views just as stunning. The journey weaved alongside stretches of glistening blue lochs, rolling hills of the most unnaturally vibrant green, and a speckle of sheep lazily munching as their tails playfully flicked behind them.
