August, 1995 Jonathan Brind		INDEX
When we got back on the mainland it was getting quite late and the roads were almost empty. Twice we stopped because there were deer on the road! This was a very long day because we were staying in a tiny hamlet in a bay at the end of a single track road. When we set off for Skye we had to drive about ten miles along a narrow road to the major road, itself quite a small country lane. Anyway about five miles along the first road there was a bridge and work was being carried out on this bridge. When we arrived at the bridge there was a queue of cars (a rare sight in the Highlands) and the person in the car at the front seemed to have the opinion the road was going to be blocked all day while they did some work on the bridge. As it happened we waited about an hour while a lorry carrying a huge girder used the narrow track to bring this section to fit into the new bridge. Then they allowed us to pass and we were off to Skye.	Click for next picture
