So many wonderful photos - your trip would make a wonderful Coffee Table Book at some stage! Love that you found the original home too!

Sheep by the castle and the green and the ocean and the gardens - I truly am enjoying your photos! Keep them coming!

I would like to know more of the story "Finlaggan, home of the MacDonalds, Lord of the Isles during the middle ages". Is it your husband's ancestry's home or land?

Beautiful photos and scenery. The van would have been a great way to travel.
