I spent a glorious 14 days living the dream—crofting in the Scottish Highlands, meeting new friends, seeing new breathtaking sights, and losing a much bigger piece of my heart to Alba than ever before! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c17c5fd3e2d096d44b0b4f2/1552618362625-V6Z1LM7AIPO7ZX5OQ4NW/GGAYl%2BqzQz6udBf7aDDNsg.jpg Scotland 2019 - The Isle of Skye - Leaving Dallas Psyched up for a long flight to Heathrow, and then to Inverness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c17c5fd3e2d096d44b0b4f2/1552618364727-E3A245S3L5ZALR1Z7ZOX/jCmeKVjUQ6eAALmWrGTcZQ.jpg Scotland 2019 - The Isle of Skye - Off the Plane and Across the Tarmac And poof!

Seems like forever ago we were knitting together on a lake in East Texas, or terrorizing the Walmart in Lucas, and now, we’re back together on the other side of the Atlantic. Friendships pick right up where they leave off, no matter where you are in the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c17c5fd3e2d096d44b0b4f2/1552618368555-F603OIAQVHD4MBTHWMRO/BQjb7kXMRWa8FCyjeaElOw.jpg Scotland 2019 - The Isle of Skye - The Skye Bridge it’s a couple of hours from Inverness to the croft in Edinbane, across the Skye Bridge (go ahead, sing the song) to the largest of the Scottish Islands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c17c5fd3e2d096d44b0b4f2/1552618369907-LLH4NFIJT3HIYXRVM4KI/Nsxg%25GhNQserKH%2BTk4xaNg.jpg Scotland 2019 - The Isle of Skye - Eilean Oir Croft... And there she is! Seeing the croft again after our 2017 group tour was amazing. Then, it had been a warm summer day. This day was a cool, breezy winter day.

I was so happy to have a few tips that made the ladies’ jobs much easier, and gave a nice result. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c17c5fd3e2d096d44b0b4f2/1552618413644-46RTIT1IS97ASUCXRC6W/fullsizeoutput_3506.jpeg Scotland 2019 - The Isle of Skye - Wool Washing The ladies had always spun their wool raw, or “in the grease” but I’m used to spinning clean wool. So I taught them how we wash wool in America. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c17c5fd3e2d096d44b0b4f2/1552618393331-PXBAHWYSHKRRBD9G7H6W/bQ94f15iSK2S%2BnEk3tHo7A.jpg Scotland 2019 - The Isle of Skye - Chicken Check This pretty red hen gave me the once and twice over as i passed her little group of friends.

Trevor and Yasmin supplement the rough grasses and shrubs their sheep eat with hay and grain, every couple of days. The views from the top of the hills were spectacular. Also, lots of wind turbines. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c17c5fd3e2d096d44b0b4f2/1552618397755-FBVEM0GEE2695ELPICC8/fullsizeoutput_3505.jpeg Scotland 2019 - The Isle of Skye - Pretty Ewes All in a Row I’ve been asked how i got them all to line up in alternating colors. Purely accidental. They lined up to enjoy the grain, never turning their backs on me, a stranger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c17c5fd3e2d096d44b0b4f2/1552618396869-THAJ3WS8X780DKBSEES8/t1yL54DcQMCtQJ2cQ4SU2A.jpg Scotland 2019 - The Isle of Skye - Across the Loch and out to Sea From up here, one can see Loch Greshornish, and the sea beyond. Trevor tells me that those very faint lands out on the horizon are the Island of Lewis and Harris. Seriously, everywhere you look, it’s like a fairy tale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c17c5fd3e2d096d44b0b4f2/1552618401503-62QHFO6JUEX83DVTN3SQ/7LXaWNe4Sk20DjGPLoZQBQ.jpg Scotland 2019 - The Isle of Skye - Back Home for Tea Back from feeding the girls up on the common grazing, it’s back home for some warmth and “sommat nice” for tea. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c17c5fd3e2d096d44b0b4f2/1552618401678-JFMWO63HGC4CMSTJYRE6/lUcA%2BVsxRnmWCvIDJZ1HUQ.jpg Scotland 2019 - The Isle of Skye - Another View of the Loch It just was always so wonderful to open the window and take in the view from my room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c17c5fd3e2d096d44b0b4f2/1552618421654-EVGKYLVU94GST0YH7QH4/QbWSgyaFSaCmRt36TwV%2BYg.jpg Scotland 2019 - The Isle of Skye - The Wee Shop The first building you come to as you drive down off the main road is the cozy little retail shop. It’s full of so many treasures made by Yasmin, plus some other island artisans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c17c5fd3e2d096d44b0b4f2/1552618419202-GZBBKA1U26SPX80E1EOX/jLuc8KpfRzGBh8KXLPJiug.jpg Scotland 2019 - The Isle of Skye - Irn Bru No trip to Scotland is complete without a healthy dose of Ir Bru.

I loved getting to spend a bit more time in this sweet town since the last time I was here, our group was in more of a hurry to bustle off to the next stop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c17c5fd3e2d096d44b0b4f2/1552618424975-XZX23I0YGRA72GGTQVJI/NQC%25%25dRySa6q0uPccRuo%2BQ.jpg Scotland 2019 - The Isle of Skye - Coffee and Scones Best carbs I’d enjoyed in a long time! For the uninitiated, the word “scone” does not rhyme with “bone.” It rhymes with “gone.” Say it right and avoid a thorough ribbing from the locals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c17c5fd3e2d096d44b0b4f2/1552618433272-VPUE1SYLUR933FY756XL/qdV9z3eaSG6A0jZngD4dYQ.jpg Scotland 2019 -
