Minginish

I was in the kitchen, making myself a morning cuppa when I saw the pink sunrise and the thick misty fog coming from the magnificent Cuillin Mountains past Loch Harport. I quickly put a coat on and ran in my pyjamas to capture this. I am sure I saw a local driving past me on the icy road muttering something about crazy tourist :D #hiddenscotland #discoverscotland #isleofskye #cuillins #igscotland #explore #ig_scotland #scotland_insta #scotland_ig #uk #perspectives #mountains #loch #winter #walking #hiking #outdoors #britain #scotland #carbost #travel #nature #skye #ontheroad
