This post is all about Eilean Donan, a castle that sits on an island in Loch Alsh. Or, at least at high tide it sits on an island. We arrived at low tide so we didn't get to see it completely surrounded by water. It provides lots of photographic opportunities so we took our time.

Whilst waiting for the light to improve I caught this little tree just begging to have its picture taken.

The clouds played peek a boo with the sun all afternoon so the light kept changing. It actually tried to clear off completely for a few minutes but then the overcast moved back in. Typical Scottish weather.

_5006283 Now I know you have only read this far because you are desperate to know the answer to the "What's this Mean" puzzle. Remember? Caution: Heavy Plant Crossing? So the Brits use the term "plant" to mean anything of the flora world. Like we do. They also use it to mean an industrial site where stuff is made. Like we do. But in their usage, the "plant" can be rather temporary. I've never heard it used this way on the west side of the Atlantic. But there were some remnants of some construction near the sign. So I guess it was that kind of plant. We breathed much easier. Thanks to the Saints we had Victoria available to interpret for us. I had a vision of us tipping our fly whilst desperately dodging the heavy plant crossing the road. We worried needlessly. It all worked out. 

Now, on to the Isle of Skye!
