The Garden of Skye
The Black Lochs
 

The Black Lochs. The open heather-moorland road contrasts with the rest of the 'Garden of Skye'. The lochs are 'black' because of the peaty water. The road goes over Drochaid Airidh na Suiridhe, the Bridge of the Sheiling of Courtship. At the sheilings, the rough huts used by young cattle-herders in the summer 200 or so years ago, it would seem that more than the cattle were receiving attention!
