I stayed two nights at Glenforsa. The longer stay gave me the chance to fly around a little more to explore.  The Outer and Inner Hebrides, Plockton, the beach airport of Barra, Stornoway, Isle of Skye, Eilean Donan Castle  were the highlights. Barra is actually the only licensed beach airport in the world. Landing there is quite an experience....
