Portree, Isle of Sky
Portree is the largest town on Skye. The current name, Port
R
ìgh translates to "King's Port"; this can possibly be traced back
to a visit from King James V in 1540. This name has been debated
though, as King James did not arrive in peaceful times, as such the
older name Port Ruighe(adh) which means "slope harbor" is the more
accepted name. The main industries of Skye are tourism,
agriculture, fishing and forestry.
