Portree harbour lies deep in a sheltered bay, where colourful gables along the quay contrast with dark cliffs and the ever-changing light of Skye. Fishing boats, tour boats and the tide create a lively, almost cinematic backdrop. From the waterline, you look out towards the hills around Ben Tianavaig, which give the bay an intimate, natural embrace.

This is one of the best viewpoints in the UK, and I've seen a few! Well worth the effort for that extraordinary view into the Cuillin above Loch Coruisk.

The shortest route is from the east, along the track that starts near Kilmarie, over the ridge and down to the seashore at Camasunary. From there cross the river (note this will only be possible if the weather has been reasonably dry), and then up a pathless slope to gain the ridge. The view is definitely one of the best in the UK.

Portree is a relatively small capital - only around 2,100 people live here. Nevertheless, it is rightly the centre of life on Skye, as it divides the island into a northern and a southern half. As a Skye tourist, you can hardly avoid Portree. It is the transport hub; all of the island's major bus routes start from the town's central square, Somerled Square.

Portree (Scottish Gaelic: Port Rìgh) is the largest town on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Portree is located on the eastern side of the island, flanked by high cliffs. The town has approximately 4,000 inhabitants. The town is situated on the A87, which connects it to the mainland via the Skye Bridge. Portree is a tourist centre on Skye, and several bus services connect Portree to the rest of the island. Portree has a number of shopping streets, a harbour, a tourist office and a hospital. The island's only secondary school is located in Portree. In the 18th century, the town was a popular departure point for journeys to America. Many Scots left their land here to build a better life and escape poverty. During a major food shortage in 1846 (the Highland Potato Famine), the town began exporting fish, which greatly boosted the local economy. The harbour was often used as a rest stop for onward travel to the Outer Hebrides. Portree had the last manual telephone exchange in the UK, which closed in 1976.
