Old Bridge - Sligachan - Isle Of Skye - Scotland - Original Photography
Fountain of Youth in Scotland
Legend says that if you can hold your head under water at the Sligachan River beside the Sligachan Bridge on the isle of Skye, Scotland for just 7 seconds, you will remain forever young and all perfections on your face will be forever removed! The water is reputed to have magical powers. I obviously didn't attempt it on any of my visits to this picturesque corner of Scotland!
The Old Bridge, Sligachan Isle of Skye, Scotland is one of the most photographed bridges in Scotland. Built in the 1820s, it is not really very old, but it is certainly very picturesque.

That is so crazy... That was just my thoughts to... Trip trap... Who's trapping over my bridge says the ugly troll 😉 lol
Your just Awsome and apparently we share minds today.. Lol
My kids loved that story! In fact I was reading it to my oldest son right before I left for the hospital to have my second son. I was kind of in a hurry, but he knew if I missed out even a word. He kept making me start over! Will never forget that!😂❤️
Awww.. That is such a sweet memory. Yes I know that feeling of not miss out on any words cause they know it by heart 😁😁hahaha
I read that story almost once a day for the kids at work, they love it.
Crazy you manage to finnish the story before your son came.. Lol
Have a wonderful weekend dear and stay as you are. Cheers! 🤗💕
I used to teach 5 & 6 year olds in England back in the 70s! They loved that story too, and some could read it, of course!
Some storys just never gets old and I love that 😊
Im sure you were an amazing teacher and the kids loved you.
Have a wonderful weekend dear and stay just as you are 🤗💖
Oh, you make my day with your sweet kindness. Teaching was my first career. It was so long ago now. Children were so much easier to handle then. ;-)
