Introduction

Portree, the capital and largest town of the Isle of Skye, is located by a seaport on the east coast with stunning views. The name of this small town means "the king's port" and the row of colorful houses by the bay has become its iconic landscape. Every place in Scotland, including the Highlands, has Scottish tartan, plaid and other woolen products, and Portree is no exception. Despite being small, the center area of the town can be explored within an hour. The Portree square is the town center where local buses, long-distance buses, tour buses and banks can be found.
