steale falls to dornie castle to duisdal house hotel to elgol

after an invigorating 2-hr hike at steale falls at glen nevis, 

we drove back to fort williams thinking of having lunch at lime tree restaurant to relish the fine dinner place last evening but it was closed. 

we drove on to isles of skye stopping at Eilean Donan Castle (fondly called dornie) enroute. it was a close to 2hrs drive.

after dornie castle, we drove on to skye bridge & cross over to isles of skye, and it was a short 35mins to our duisdal house hotel in sleat, the southern peninsula where the ferry crosses from from mallaig to armadale.
