What a stormy day yesterday, very wet all day, with high winds. The river Roskhill was thundering down the gorge. There must have been well over an inch of rainfall which, continued throughout the night.
I took this video of the river next to the old bridge on the nature reserve this morning.

As your strength overcomes them and takes them from view”….

The Isle of Skye has dramatic mountains, wild glens and amazing seascapes; it offers a varied wilderness for free spirits. There is an abundance of hidden places full of native trees, wildflowers and wildlife to enjoy, in peace and tranquility. This sensational Island changes constantly through the seasons, with wild Atlantic storms, snowy mountains and balmy Summer nights with spectacular skies.
