This past weekend I went on a trip hosted by the
Scottish Storytelling Centre called a Bardic Journey to
Skye. Led by Storytellers
George MacPherson from Glendale on Skye, and
Donald Smith, with harp and stories by
Heather Yule. There were ten of us, some storytellers some not and its safe to say that we all had a great time.
We drove from Edinburgh to Skye on Friday, with several stops for stories about the land around us. Then when we arrived in Skye, we settled into
Hamara Lodge in Glendale. Saturday there were storytelling walks, a visit to see
Dunvegan Castle and a
Ceilidh. On Sunday, we drove back to Edinburgh with more stops and stories along the way.
Many of the following photos were taken from a moving vehicle, so they may look a tad blurry.
