Roiling Clouds and Castle Ruins HFF!

A storm about to break over Kyleakin harbour and the ruins of Castle Moil (Casteal Maol) on the Isle of Skye.
Fragments of a medieval tower are all that remain. Built in the 15th Century by the MacKinnan family, it is thought it may have been built on the site of an earlier structure. Following the death of James V a meeting of the chiefs was held here and it was decided that Sir Donald MacDonald was to become the new Lord of the Isles

Prior to the building of the Skye Bridge the old ferry used to run from Loch Ailsh to Kyleakin

THANKYOU !

Ecobird ^club has replied to Pam J ^club

Oh Pam I am so pleased you liked it and it has brought back memories for you.
The Skye Bridge is iconic and must have changed the lives of the islanders dramatically but there is something about a ferry that stirs my soul. I never visited before the bridge was built and so never went on that ferry sadly. I never pass up the chance to ride on the ferries though, - I like the smaller ones where you can feel the movement of the boat!

Hope you are having a good week

You are so right Herb! It is worth a bit of rain to get the dramatic skies, although my fingers are crossed for at least a bit of sunshine when we visit later this year!

A superb composition under that wonderful Skye light Carol. The contrast with the colourful collection of small boats and yachts and the storm clouds over the mainland is outstanding. I love the touch of light on the remains of the castle, the perfect finishing touch.
