Colourful Harbour. Highland Backdrop.
As the largest village and capital of the Isle of Skye, Portree is a cultural hub for the island and is your gateway to the surrounding spectacular landscapes. The village’s colourful waterfront buildings welcome you into its natural harbour that flows into the rolling emerald-green hillsides. From medieval castles and tumbling waterfalls to peaceful beaches and rugged rock formations that capture the imagination, the scenery is as enchanting as it is varied. You can spend the day exploring this outdoor rocky wonderland or savour whiskey on the rocks during a distillery tour, go birding or visit a seal colony, or step into the past at a medieval castle.
