Portree not Portwee
Portree, Isle of Skye, Scotland
Europe Adventures #1|Scotland
Welcome to Scotland... Sorta! X3 This is where my brother got married, and let me tell you IT'S BEAUTIFUL! ❤️ It's so green and pretty. The weather is a little cooler than where I live, but I liked it. :) We were there for about 4 or 5 days or so and I really enjoyed my stay. I would definitely go there again if I had the choice! England's Europe Adventure should be posted soon, so stay tuned!

I would be a huge liar if I didn't say that I was inspired by HoppingHammy's vacation video, so go and subscribe to her if you aren't already. :)

Kilt Rock pillars & Mealt waterfall. Isle of Skye, Scotland
The famous Kilt Rock is a sea cliff in north east Trotternish. It is said to resemble a kilt, with vertical basalt columns to form the pleats and intruded sills of dolerite forming the pattern.
This is a popular stopping point on the road between Portree and Staffin and there is a large car park by the waterfall at NG508655, at Ellishadder.
You have to look north up the coast to see the Kilt Rock. Closer by is the Mealt Waterfall, which freefalls off the cliff for 60m into the Sound of Raasay below. Sometimes, when the wind is strong, the water is blown away and it doesn't reach the bottom at all.
Lives have been lost here. Today, the cliff edge is pretty well fenced, but do take particular care and keep to the designated viewpoint.
Island overview
The Isle of Skye lies close to the north-west coast of the Scottish Highlands. It is the largest and the furthest north of the islands in the Inner Hebrides. The name ‘Skye’ is probably from the Norse words Ski (cloud) and Ey (island). In Gaelic it is normally referred to as An t-Eilean Sgitheanach, which translates as The Winged Isle - from the wing-like shape formed by the two northern peninsulas of Waternish and Trotternish. The island is marked on old Roman maps as Scitis. In English it's sometimes referred to as the Misty Isle (Eilean a’ Cheo, in Gaelic). That one seems a wee bit too romantic for my taste. And there’s more…but that’s enough to confuse anyone already.
Skye is a romantic place though. The history, the legends, the scenery, the weather, the music and the poetry combine to produce something very special indeed. It is that peculiar magic that draws visitors to the island from all around the world, and makes it Scotland’s biggest tourist destination after Edinburgh. It has been said that Skye is conclusive proof that, sometimes, God was just showing off.
Geography
Skye is about 50 miles from north to south, and around 25 miles from west to east at its widest. The coastline is very irregular and indented by sea lochs. In all it is some 400 miles long – and I can’t think of a single mile of those 400 that I would class as dull. The coast is littered with bays, sea arches, stacks, caves, massive cliffs, waterfalls, fossils, tidal islands – a lifetime’s worth of exploration and discovery.
This dramatic coastline surrounds some of the most exceptional and varied scenery to be found anywhere. The main mountain range, the Cuillin, is often said to be the home of the only true mountains in Britain. Certainly there is nowhere in the country to compare with the magnificent, dramatic and challenging peaks and ridges of the Cuillin.
Nearby, the rounded granite lumps of the Red Hills are less savage, but still offer stunning views - both of them, and off them.
In the north-east is the Trotternish Peninsula, with the world famous ridge or escarpment that forms its backbone. The ridge rises to its highest point at the summit of the Storr, above the tortured landslip topography that includes the iconic pinnacle - The Old Man of Storr. The ridge is home also to the Quiraing, another landslip area of pinnacles and gullies, this time below the summit of Meal na Suiramach.
The Sleat peninsula to the south offers an altogether different sort of scene. Lush, wooded glens are interspersed with the most idyllic crofting communities. Nowhere does the land rise above 1,000 ft. The mild climate and fertile ground give the area a look more of south-west England than north-west Scotland.

Scotland Adventure Day 1
This is day 1 of my Scottish adventure and the first of 11 videos like this which will be uploading shedding light on my amazing trip.
The first day mainly included getting to Target Park and getting settled in. It was a pretty relaxed day and ended with quite a nice campfire in our sub camp. We arrived about 13:00 on Tuesday 21st July , however the Scottish had already been there for 2 days setting up.

Breaking News | Oldest footprints on Earth are found dating from more than 500 million years ago
Scientists have found fossilised footprints dating from 551 million years ago in China, left in mud by an unknown bug. The parallel tracks were found in southern China’s Yangtze Gorges. The tracks could be from 10 million years before the Cambrian Explosion, a sudden explosion in biodiversity nearly half a billion years ago. Until now, there had been no evidence of limbed creatures prior to the Cambrian Explosion, say the researchers from Virginia Tech in the US.540m-year-old bug tracks are olde...
