I am back with my nature travels posts, and in this one I will show you this amazing walk that I did with my friend Ewan in Skye - Scotland.

My friend Ewen and I walked from Portree to the famous Storr, the walk was about 13km (4 hours). We didn't encountered a single person in the way, we where completely alone, I wasen't surprised because the path was not very clear. We started the walk from Portree, that is the capital of Skye, one of the most beautiful island of Scotland.

Portree

This hill was our first and unique challenge, it went up too much and too fast, arriving at the top we where both without breath.

We saw something strange in the sea, maybe it's a fish farm or some other animal, if someone know what it is leave it down in the comments!

But the climbing was totally worth it, the view was breath taking:

Something very interesting that happened is Skye, I don't know about the rest of Scotland, but all the waterfalls and the rivers where frozen. That's something that didn't happened in a lot of years, even the locals where surprised by this cold and I was too!!

And even the ground was frozen! That's is of course a lot better to walk.

But even in this cold someone manage to put fire in these hills and beyond! I think the sheep farmers need to burn their land to clear the bad bushes that sheep don't eat.

Anyway, we continued our walk, it was very windy and cold but we had a whisky to warm us when we arrive at the highest point. The view was beautiful, we could see the entire isle of Rassay, Portree and the Old Man of Storr.
