Portree is the capital of the Isle of Skye – the name coming from the Gaelic ‘ Port Ruighe’ meaning ‘slope harbour’. In the 1700’s it was a popular departure point for Scots sailing for America. It was named as one of the most beautiful villages in the UK and Ireland with its brightly coloured houses lining the harbour.

The view across the Bay is towards the Cuillin, a mountain range believed to be the ultimate mountaineering experience in the UK.
