Alastair's Holiday around Pitlochry
Isle of Skye (Part 11)


Continued on my way to the Skye Bridge...


This is turning onto the Skye Bridge


Not brilliant pictures but this is a great view from the bridge


And another £4.70 as I went through the toll. Nice to see all the country flags in the window though!


And a great view of the ferry and the Skye Bridge from just off the bridge


and this was me going back through the Great Glen on my way to the Scottish Borders

And thanks to Neil Fraser for this appropriate song :-)

Just got in from the Isle of Skye.
I'm not very big and I'm awfully shy
The ladies shout as I go by
Donald where's yer troosers?
 
Chorus:
Let the winds blow high,
Let the winds blow low,
Down the street in my kilt I go
And all the ladies say hello
Donald where's yer troosers?
 
A lady took me to a ball
And it was slippery in the hall
I was afraid that I would fall
'Cause I didn't have on my troosers!
 
Chorus
 
They'd like to wed me every one
Just let them catch me if they can
Ye canna put the brakes on a Highland man
Who doesn't like wearing troosers.
 
Chorus
 
To wear the kilt is my delight,
It isn't wrong, I know it's right
The Highlanders would get a fright
If they saw me in my troosers.
 
Chorus
 
Well I caught a cold and me nose was raw
I had no handkerchief at all
So I hiked my kilt and gave it a blaw,
Now you can't do that with troosers!
