Delightful place, Edinburgh. After two days we moved on north toward Inverness and Skye.

Legend says that Bonnie Prince Charlie fled to Skye after his defeat at the Battle of Culloden, and, despite a huge reward offered for his capture, he was given refuge on this very site by Captain John MacKinnon. As an expression of his gratitude, Bonnie Prince Charlie gave MacKinnon the secret recipe for the potent elixir that had been devised especially for the Prince during his exile in France. We know this drink today as
Drambuie .
