A pile of rock with a long history. On a prominent knoll in the hills behind our house is the intriguing Dùn Ard an t-Sabhail, marked on the Ordnance Survey map as a broch. This was once an impressive Iron Age structure, partly defensive but mainly status symbol for a family or community who lived in this land two thousand years ago. I’m fascinated by this history and look forward to finding more locations like this as I explore and poke about.
This evening I went kayaking. Nothing remarkable about that I guess. It is however, the first time I’ve been out in my kayak properly in Scotland in 18 months! Being out there on the sea again, surrounded by this incredible beauty which is now my home locality, was an incredibly special moment for me. I’m back where I belong.
A night out in our new ‘back yard’. We walked from the house up onto the track leading to Talisker Bay. We pitched our tent looking down into the glen and enjoyed a wonderfully peaceful night. It’s truly gorgeous around here. I love it!
@fleurrbie Thank you Fleur. I hope you will visit one day and we can either kayak or walk together (or both). No otters yet but there eagles sightings. It’s all so exciting. I hope you’re well.
I’m loving my new surroundings. Can’t quite believe this is my forever home!
A 20 hour day yesterday. 700 miles of driving. Finally though, everything is fine and dusted. Our move to the Isle of Skye is complete. We can rest - for the day - tomorrow the unpacking of boxes begins and we create our new home. The drive home was gorgeous.
@SkyeGreen01 Thank you. It’s really wonderful to be here at long last.
We’re on the Isle of Skye and it’s wonderful to say - “I live here”. It was a nine hour journey from Cumbria because of an unexpected road closure. Nevertheless, the stunning scenery eased any frustration. The weather was kind and everything went smoothly. I’m indebted to my phenomenally strong nephew and an equally powerful family friend who helped. It would have been a different story without them. All we have to do now is repeat the drive south to return the hire vehicle and we can say as we drive north again - “We’re going home!”
@timerich That’s really kind of you Francesca - thank you! What a wonderful incentive to paddle across to Eigg. If ever you’re on Skye, please get in touch. Very best wishes.
Just a wee wander around the vicinity of my new home. I’m looking forward to exploring and really getting to know my locality. Plenty of history to discover.
Yes, I’m an ‘in-comer’ here on the Isle of Skye. I’m so very lucky to now call this island my home. I’ve been a wandering soul for much of my life (literally and metaphorically). It’s wonderful to be here, not as a holidaymaker or itinerant sea- kayaker, but now a permanent resident. However, I’ll forever pinch myself because of my good fortune.
On a dreich day I arrived on the Isle of Skye and received the keys to my new home from the previous owners. It’s so wonderfully peaceful. I shall be extremely content and settled here. The sea is only two minutes walk away!
I’m moving! This is the 50th move in my 62 years of living. (Not counting the thousands of nights I’ve spent camping when I’ve created a home wherever I’ve pitched my tent). This will be this last time I throw my belongings into cardboard boxes. I’ve found the home where my roots will dig deep and grip tightly. I envy those who have lived a settled life, in a community and place they’ve known all their lives. However, I value the experiences I’ve enjoyed in the many locations in the UK and Africa I’ve been fortunate to call home. Isle of Skye - here I come!
Time flies. A year ago, I reached Peterhead, the easternmost point of mainland Scotland. I’d walked there from the Mull of Galloway, 410 miles away, as part of my Four Corners expedition. This is where I walked to the cardinal points of mainland Scotland. I feel like my year has been fallow since this achievement and I’m looking forward to my move to the Isle of Skye, where I’ll soon be out on the sea in my kayak or high in the mountains again.
This is wonderful. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
During my year long journey around Scotland in my kayak, I had the privilege of innumerable meetings with wildlife. Here, this seal was fast asleep in Burghead Harbour, totally unfazed by the bustling noise of fishing boats around and about. I often think of this moment and what I learned. Despite the cacophony of world events, and the possibility of these overwhelming me, I can be like this seal and find an inner peace.
