After leaving Skye, our route homewards took in the area around Fort William, Loch Lomond and then Stirling, Falkirk and Edinburgh. Here are a few highlights:
Driving through Glen Shiel:
Glen Finnan Viaduct – better known as the one from Harry Potter, together with the Jacobite Express steam train:

Driving through Glen Coe - surprisingly good
The Falkirk Wheel – a kind of giant ferris wheel that carries boats between the Forth & Clyde Canal and the Union Canal, replacing a series of locks:
