Talisker Distillery(9 May 2006)
Talisker蒸留所のあるCarbostへはPortreeからバスで30分程。9時発のバスがあるので少し早めに朝食を済ませてバス停に行った。しかし9時を過ぎてもバスが来ない。おかしいと思って時刻表を確認すると翌週から運行されるバスだった。次のバスは1時前までない。
こういう時はTourist Informationが頼りになる。スタッフに聞くとタクシーで20ポンドぐらいで行けるとのこと。バス停近くに客待ちしているタクシーに乗って蒸留所に向かった。
There is Talisker Distillery in Carbost. It takes about for 30 minutes from Portree to Carbost by bus. According to the timetable I got by the internet when I was planning a tour, there was a bus to Carbost at 9 o’clock. I had a breakfast quickly and I went to bus stop in Portree. However, the bus didn’t come. I checked the timetable again, and the bus was operated from next week. The next bus was at 1 PM.
If you have such a problem, you should go to a Tourist Information in Scotland. They are really reliable. I went to a Tourist Information near the bus stop. According to them, I was able to go to Carbost by taxi and the cost was about 20 pounds. I got on a waiting taxi near a bus stop, and I left for Carbost.

Portree(1)
The First Pint in Isle of Skye(8 May 2006)
Portreeに着いたのは18:30頃。この季節のスコットランドはようやく日が暮れ始めた時間だった。宿に荷物を置いて夕食まで少しだけ町歩き。
そういえば今日はまだエールを飲んでいない。とりあえずはPubへ行こう。バス停近くのThe Isles Innを訪れる。カウンターにはハンドポンプがある。まずはそのリアルエールを楽しもう。
I arrived around thirty past six PM in Portree. The sunset came gradually. I went for a walk until having a dinner after I left my luggage at B&B.
Presently, I realized that I had not drunk ale today. I went to The Isles Inn near bus stop in Portree. There was a hand pump for cask ale on the bar counter. To begin with, let’s start to drink a pint of cask ale.

Armadale(1)
The First Step in Isle of Skye(8 May 2006)
フェリーは港に着いた。事前にインターネットで入手した時刻表では15分後にPortree行のバスがあるはずなのでバス停に向かった。しかし時間になってもバスは来ない。よく見るとそのバスは2週間後からの運行だった。次のバスまで2時間ある。
さて、どうしたものか。AmadaleにはPubが見あたらない。というより何もない。
Ferry was arrived at Port Amadale. According to the timetable I got by the internet when I was planning a tour, there was a bus to Portree in 15 minutes. However, the bus didn’t come although the time was coming. I checked the timetable, and I understood why the bus didn’t come. The bus was operated from two weeks after. The next bus was in two hours.
In Amadale, there was no pub, no distillery, no castle. What should I do?
