Hiking the Quiraing, a cemetery, Ian as guide. Part 1

The next day was not too bad, cool and windy, but it wasn't raining so we decided we should go hiking. First, though, we decided to visit a yarn shop, “Island at the Edge” but the owners were out rounding up sheep so we just took a few pictures and went on.
A highland cow.

The sheep are curious.

Very curious!

I enjoyed telling them how much I like their wool and how tasty they are as soup.







Ian then drove us to St. Columba's Isle where there is a lovely bridge and stream, and very old cemetery, and the ruins of an ancient “cathedral” (a cathedral is any church that has/or had a bishop, no matter the size of the structure). Very few tourists know of this place so we had it all to ourselves. It was so peaceful.
























Here I am, listening to Ian.
Here is Ian, explaining all about the cemetery history.
