Around our campsite in Skye

A selection of photos taken in and around our campsite, located at Edinbane in the North of Skye just on the edge of the Waternish peninsula. The weather was not great for walking with frequent heavy showers and on one day the high winds rose to gale force. However such conditions can be rather helpful for photography!
All fairly calm on the day of arrival. Our campsite can be spotted mid image on the other side of Loch Greshornish
Needless to say, we bought a fleece...
A rather nice VW T2 campervan -  meaning ours was not the oldest camper on site
The campsite takes care of its own smallholding which included this fine fellow. At least I think it's a fellow.
The campsite is actually closer to the hamlet of Flashader (love that name) rather than Edinbane. I am pretty sure this was a chapel - there were still pews inside 
The Hebridean Isles Trading Company operates out of these buildings adjacent to out campsite. They trade as "Island at the Edge"
The "Ane Shop" - Edinbane, Isle of Skye
About an hour after I took the previous photo these motorhomes had arrived, probably set up for the night
A corrugated hut perched besides the loch
Mrs H. watching the falling sun on the walk home from the Edinbane Inn
The fleece we bought came off one of these sheep.
A pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for a mobile phone company
A Trimaran on Loch Greshornish .Or it would be, if the tide were not out
Bus shelter on the edge of the Loch
Corrugated Chapel at Flashader
The fully formed rainbow seen from the campsite
A was pretty chuffed that the gales did no damage to our new "retro" awning. I am pleased I invested in those storm straps!
Mrs H. returns from the shower block - had she some back with the towel off her head her hair may well have been dried by the wind.
