Saturday in Kyleakin March 7, 2010
Posted by Chris in : Isle of Skye , trackbackThe Isle of Skye is invaded on Saturday nights by 2 different tour groups so the main pub, Saucy Mary’s, gets flooded with people, islanders, main-landers, and Americans.
With the infusion of about 40 Americans, the population of Kyleakin almost hit 200! Of course, after you include the people driving up to 40 miles to be here on Saturday night, you get well over 200 people in the town.
Saucy Mary’s is the place to be on Saturday nights for miles, there’s live music, a festive atmosphere, and happy patrons! Around 10 PM staff at some local attraction came in dressed up as pirates and faeries.
This photo was one of the last clear shots we could get as the dance floor quickly filled up to the guy playing live music on his guitar, primarily great oldies, such gems as ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ or ‘Stuck in the Middle’.
Most of the people who got off of the tour buses were Americans studying at the University of London who had been given the opportunity to tour Scotland. We found a table of people playing cards and convinced them to try to learn Shithead; about 2 hours later we were still playing despite being the front row for the music (we were also the most vocal fans!).
