Skye

Kate and decided to take a road trip to Skye. We got the night train from London up to Glasgow - it was lovely. We were greeted by our porter and then settled into the Bar carriage, I ordered a plate of scotch cheeses and Scottish gin, whilst Kate went for a taster tray of Scots Whiskys. By morning we were eating breakfast in Glasgow before hopping on our train to Mallaig where we picked up a hire car and made the ferry crossing to Skye.

Kate has brought Dr Johnson's account of his travels to the Western Isles of Scotland so we can make comparisons between our journeys.
