On the ferry:
Torridon Castle:
Further round mull, we get to visit Dunvegan castle that wesaw from the ferry crossing. It looks much more the part than the country house, and I'm glad that Mowgli and I are wearing kilts:
The weather's not as good as our earlier ferry crossing, but it just makes for more dramatic scenery:
The first relic we see on the island is a stone cross from the 12th century:
As you folow the road round, you come to the Nunnery. It's ruined, but immediattely gives you a sense of the age of this island:
Once we've walked round, we can see the abbey:
The facade of the main church is made up of pretty old bricks:
Inside, there are several room which are positioned around a really small main courtyard.. it's very cute and quaint:
Beside the abbey there's a museum, which contains some of the relics which are sensitive to the weather:
