Great work Dave
On the Whisky trip - I've been planning one of these for a while, one of the guys in work has given me a route starting from Aberdeen.

That's okay. All you're likely to find in Scotland is whisky ... 
Mikey - just get up there; whatever the weather
Wednesday - Tarbert (Harris) to Arisaig - 98 miles
More of a relaxing day today. Saying that, we had to skip breakfast and be at the ferry terminal at 06:50
Heading back to Skye as the sun rises
Bridge to Scapay Island
Entering Uig Bay
Heading west toward Dunvegan
Loch Dunvegan
Loch Carov
Loch Harport
Cuillin Hills (they're not hills, they are real mountians)

Broadford Bay
Heading south for the ferry
Joining the queue for the ferry at Armadale
We had about half an hour to kill before the ferry arrived. Just enough shoping time for Kathryn to get a new bag and hat
Here it comes
Off we go on the 30min crossing to Mallaig

From Mallaig it's a short drive to our B&B at Back of Keppoch, near Arisaig
Dropped the bags off at the B&B and had a stroll back to the beautiful unspoilt beaches
Spent the afternoon here; well, why wouldn't you......
