Hiking Brothers Point on the Isle of Skye: A Hidden Coastal Treasure

One of the highlights while visiting Scotland was spending time on the Isle of Skye. Most visitors flock to world famous sites like Old Man of Storr or the Quiraing, but tucked away and probably driven right by, is a hike that feels like Skye's best kept secret. It's called Brother's Point and I imagine it's what some of the hikes on Skye felt like before Instagram started inspiring more travel to the area. 
Despite its modest length, Brothers Point offers a breathtaking blend of rugged landscape, ancient history, and raw coastal beauty without the crowds that have overtaken some of the other Instagram worthy hikes in the area. Read on, because this is a hike you are going to want to add to your Skye itinerary!

New Hobby Unlocked: Finding Sea Pottery on the Beaches in the UK

I grew up landlocked in Indiana. I have lived on the west coast for more than 25 years, and I still can't get over how much I learn about the beaches and water that surrounds us. I started enjoying picking up sea glass, but a new hobby was unlocked on a trip to the UK when I was walking on a beach and found a piece of sea pottery! There was something magical about turning that piece over in my hand and revealing a small hand-painted design. While many people know about sea glass, those frosted shards of discarded bottles softened by time and tide, less people know about its cousin: sea pottery! On a recent trip to the UK, I spent time on the beaches in Scotland and discovered the rich history, and countless seaside towns make it one of the best places in the world to discover these small fragments of the past!
Hunting for sea pottery became a fun little way to slow down and notice those little details and it became one of my favorite parts of my trip to Scotland. If you've never heard of it, let's explore what sea pottery is, how it finds its way to the shore, how to identify different types, and the best places and tips for searching!
