We took a scenic drive in the 27ft motor home from Dunvegan across to Portree via Uig, which literally has nothing there. The road and scenery was breathtaking and at times the tarmac descends down the cliff face to the sea as the little motor home is scrambling to hold onto what’s left of the blacktop.

As usual the route had to be via some historic landmarks (yawn), some woman’s grave and some disheveled old ruins that may have been castles at some point in the past.

5 hours later (slow drive on “single track, close your eyes and pray roads”) and we are at Portree, the capitol of Skye and the place with the most tourists so far (American and Japanese) .

Before we set off on this road trip, we had the misfortune of watching an awful TV show called MotorHoning with Merton & Webster, which was supposed to show you all about the pleasures of motorhoming in the UK, but what it actually showed was 2 irritating people attempting to be funny, not show anything of relevance and to be a downright waste of airtime. So in homage, we made our own version of it
