*************

Portree (Scottish Gaelic: Port Rìgh, pronounced [p??r?'t??i?]) is the largest town on Skye in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland.^[2] It is the location for the only secondary school on the Island, Portree High school. Public transport services are limited to buses.

Portree has a harbour, fringed by cliffs, with a pier designed by Thomas Telford.^[3] Attractions in the town include the Àros centre which celebrate the island's Gaelic heritage. The town also serves as a centre for tourists exploring the island.^[4]

The Royal Hotel is the site of MacNab's Inn, the last meeting place of Flora MacDonald and Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1746.^[2][5]

The town plays host to the Isle of Skye's shinty club, Skye Camanachd.^[6]

Around 939 (37.72%) of the population can speak Scottish Gaelic.
