继续skye岛得游行. Skye岛大致可以分成树叶状3个区域, 昨天去了右边得一个半岛, 今天继续去左面得半岛看传说中得灯塔和悬崖. 弯弯扭扭的高地小路只有1个车道, 过10米的样子会有个passing place让你会车. 整个路途还不错GPS发挥了极大的作用, 即使是这样的小路也都能很好的显示. Skye岛上A级路比london的B级路还小, 可能是这里车辆少的缘故路铺宽了都浪费.

很快就到了灯塔所在的地, 一个很高的山, 沿着山要往下走1mile的样子才能看到海和灯塔. 在这里你可以真正体会到大海的彭湃, 悬崖的陡峭, 自然的美妙. 在这种荒凉的地方, 山坡上还有羊羔在吃草, 地上还有羊羔留下的足迹.

那个灯塔在一群酷似印度风格的建筑中高高地耸立着, 真想不出来为什么这个建筑群会是淡黄色和白色相间的. 也许真的是哪个印度阿叉老板把这块海边岛屿给买下来了, 于是按照自己的风格建了个灯塔. 方圆10 milse之内绝对没有第二个人家, 真佩服这个屋子的主人. 走进建筑群, 在墙上居然还写着private property. 这种情况在国内是很少见的!

下面简单介绍一下这个castle:
“Shakespeare’s (1564-1616) Macbeth was Thane of Cawdor, but the sense of history that exists within the turreted walls of Cawdor Castle is more than fictional. Cawdor is a lived-in castle, not an abandoned, decaying structure. The earliest part of the castle is the 14th-century central tower; the rooms contain family portraits, tapestries, fine furniture, and paraphernalia reflecting 600 years of history. Outside the castle walls are sheltered gardens and woodland walks. Children will have a ball exploring the lush and mysterious Big Wood, with its wild flowers and varied wildlife. There’s lots of creepy stories and fantastic tales amid the dank dungeons and drawbridges. The Cawdor estate has cottages to rent on the property. off B9090, 5 mi southwest of Nairn. www.cawdorcastle.com. COST: Grounds £3.50; castle £7. OPEN: May-mid-Oct., daily 10-5.”
Address: Cawdor, Scotland
Phone: 01667/404401
