Portree history

In the 1700s, the town was a popular point of departure for Scots sailing to America to escape poverty. The town was saved by an influx of boats, often going between mainland Scotland and the Outer Hebrides, who used Portree’s pier as a rest point. The last meeting place of Flora MacDonald and Bonnie Prince Charlie was in 1746.

Portree etymology
