Caught the 07:30 am ferry to Uig on Skye. Once on Skye drove to Kilmuir to the cemetery where Flora MacDonald is buried. Then back to Kilvaxter Iron Age farmstead to have a look but there was too much water in the underground section to get in. When I got to Spean Bridge I followed the Satnav preference to turn left and go via Dalwhinnie and the A9. It seemed to take ages to get home and must have been quite a bit longer than the Fort William way.
