We might see the sun

Our arrival at Sabhal Mor Ostaig, Scotland's only gaelic college, on Monday took place in somewhat cold weather (8 Celsius). Today, I believe we have reached 15 Celsius. The rain has also been incredibly cooperative: it has only stopped about 4 times, for 2 to 5 minutes each time.

We were each assigned a room with a bathroom





Here is the view from my window (north-ish). My room is located on the main campus of Sabhal Mor Ostaig. There is another campus a five-minute walk down the road. The tower in the picture also contains guests. Doesn't it look like a lighthouse? In fact that really helps it fit in the decor, when seen from far away. Just before it is the main building where we eat and where the lectures take place.



And the view from the room at the end of the hallway (east, towards the mainland)




We get fed decently, and I must say that the seafood is delicious. There was some confusion at first about what we need to pay for and what is included in the school fee. It turns out we only need to pay for canned or bottled drinks. They do provide water pitchers though. And lots and lots of coffee and tea.
