One of the most frequented shops for us, was the bakery, because instead of eating in a restaurant, we would buy something here, hot meat pies, sausage rolls, quiches and make them into a picnic lunch. Taking it down to the harbour and picnicking there.

Edinbane Pottery, Isle of Skye
Is a lovely pottery shop in Edinbane. My sister BB and I love pottery, well any kind of china. In fact a friend came to our house one time and said 'it's a good job you don't throw plates at Bo when you get angry because you would never run out.' And that's about the truth. I have so many sets of beautiful china, and some pottery.
I would have bought something here, but to be honest it was super expensive. For instance a cup was eighteen pounds and the matching saucer fifteen pounds. My sister and I are pretty thrifty. He had some buttons, not even glazed in different colours, and not an inch in diameter and wanted three pounds per button; which BB and I thought was excessive. If he'd of had something small like that and cheaper, we would have bought a set.
If you had the money though, some lovely pieces.

Room with a View, day three, Monday
You are always in trepidation when you rent a holiday cottage. Is it going to be all that you expect. Of course if you have tons of money it can be all that you expect, but when you are working with a tight budget, it is such a delight to achieve the goal of reasonable price and a room with a view. It is a easier with the Internet to envision what your little holiday rental will look like, but the full panorama is not seen until you are there.

The Old School Restaurant, Isle of Skye
We had dinner at this restaurant in the town of Dunvegan.
We all had the Angus steak with a whisky mushroom sauce, it was very good.
About five miles from here is the Three Chimneys Restaurant, in fact we passed it every day traveling backwards and forwards from our cottage. A Michelin, five star restaurant. I think it costs about one-hundred and fifty pounds for two to eat, beyond our means.
I kept meaning to pop my head in the door and see what it looked like, but I never did. It's not spectacular from the outside. Judging from all the expensive cars you see there, even though it's in the middle of no where it obviously lives up to its' rating.
We stopped at a little craft shop and farm, and the lady said that all their quail eggs go to the restaurant.
