These rock formations are part of the rugged coastline of the Isle of Skye.
Isle of Skye Coastline
To drive around the Isle of Skye takes a couple of hours and the ruggedness of the coastline is amazing.

Land Ho
We sailed from Kirkwall to the Isle of Skye and this was the first land we saw from the starboard side of the ship.
Scott Monument
This gothic tower was built in 1846 to honor the writer Sir Walter Scott.
Earl’s Palace
Kirkwall was our next stop after Edinburgh. It was dreary out so it was black and white film for the day. Kirkwall is the capital of Orkney and this palace was built in 1607 by Patrick, Earl of Orkney.
Waverley Station
Edinburgh’s main train station’s modern design is highlighted when viewing the Balmoral Hotel in the background.
Edinburgh
After visiting Copenhagen we sailed across the North Sea to Edinburgh. It was pretty stormy with intermittent rain when we docked so we spent most of the time inside sampling whisky but did get this shot of the skyline.
Boats
Copenhagen is known for all it’s bikes but it has a lot of boats too. These are located on one of their many canals.
Docks
There is a boardwalk along Copenhagen’s harbor that have these steeply descending ramps into the water. I was told they allow small boats or kayaks to load and unload passengers. They make for an interesting photo.
