One of the places that we intended to visit while in Skye was Plockton – which is actually on the mainland just north of the Skye Bridge. Unfortunately, the wind is still blowing a force 5 to 7 and this would have made for a most uncomfortable journey. We therefore decided to let the train take the strain and we caught the small diesel train from Kyle of Lochalsh. It is a single-track line, cut out of solid rock, and runs along the coast. We were treated to splendid views of Loch Carron on the way. Then, after a 15-minute walk, we arrived at Plockton in time for lunch. The sun managed to shine briefly and the village was sheltered from the wind so the day proved pleasurable.
