"The Lu {of the Homeland" : By the Happy Wanderer = J Last week we stopped short at Eilean Donan Castle in Wester Ross. That could well have been the wrong thing to do in such a romantic setting where even the crumbling walls have a story to tell. The castle is Ballimore who made history in the first world war by .piloting a plane for the first time up the west coast of 3 Scotland. Some idea of the size of the Ancestral home | "of the Macrae's can be gleamed from the fact that the . plane hung in the hall for many years as a souvenir piece. - expression, 'This is by far the most captivating place in all Scotland."- We might not wholly agree but when the sun shape in golden splendour the surroundings took on a mystic quality that was hypnotic. Had we lingered much longer at Eilean Donan Castle the romantic atmosphere might have set ablaze a fire of unquenchable poetry. ) But we moved on to Kyle of Lochalsh, our-stepping off spot for our first glimpse of the 'Misty Isle of Skye! A shuttle service ferry operates from dawn to dusk to Kyleakin. The name 'Kyleakin' means --'The Kyle of Haco'- at which point history informs us the Norse King's Galleys anchored, on their way to a crushing defeat at Largs in Ayrshire. It was late afternoon when we arrived and accomodation was at a premium. All the boarding houses were crammed and one might have imagined some of the late comers being housed on the shingles or having their feet exposed from the low set windows not merely for hygienic purposes but FH for a man in the kilts to do so would be considered by the islanders a breach in highland tradition. By a happy chain of circumstances there was a cancellation in the White Heather Hotel when three people found that they could not tolerate one of the smallest rooms, even at a reduced rate. This was our only hope and last one. It was a question of a small room and bed being better than sleeping under a full sized umbrella. So if you go to Kyleakin do look up the manager of the White Heather Hotel, who although a Norwegian is convinced that for beauty the Island of Skye is unexcelled.
