"Turadh" means "a break in the clouds between showers."
I went over the sea to Skye and left a piece of my soul in the Faerie Glen. I used Plockton as a base of exploration for Skye and managed to wander much of the island over four days: Glenelg (an unforgettable ride on the oldest running manual turntable ferry in the world); Portree (bright shops and friendly folks); Carbost (the Talisker Distillery is a must-see, as is The Oyster Shed!); Elgol (and maybe a ferry ride to Loch Coruisk); the Old Man of Storr (amazing when you get a little of that turadh); Sligachan (where you wash your face in the river to stay young forever); the Faerie Glen and the Quiraing near Uig (breathtakingly beautiful spots for hikes); Kilt Rock on the Trotternish Peninsula (perfect spot for hilarious but inappropriate selfies with Mealt Falls); Staffin Beach (of Dinosaur footprint fame); and Dunvegan Castle (seat of Clan Macleod).
