Here's another picture from the Oldies' big trip. The bridge joins the Isle of Skye to the mainland of Scotland. Before the bridge was built you had to use a ferry to get to the island. Skye must be really pretty because the Oldies haven't stopped talking about it since they got back. Mind you, they were very lucky to have weather like this. Most of the time it is evidently so cloudy and misty that you can't see much. There are some songs about Skye and the escape of Bonny Prince Charlie; you may know them. That happened way back before the bridge was built. Can you see the little lighthouse under the bridge? It marks the entrance to a main shipping channel into the Kyle of Loch Alsh. I just love those Scottish names, they sound as impressive as the scenery.
