    This rainbow row of eye-catching houses is an iconic sight often photographed from above at Bosville Terrace. They sit opposite the harbour on Quay Street and are all the home of businesses including a hotel and a restaurant.

    Hiking

    The view of Portree harbour on the Isle of Skye is one of Scotland's most famous sights. Particularly striking are the colourful houses along the waterfront, their facades painted in bright colours such as red, blue and yellow.
    They are reflected in the calm waters of the bay and, together with fishing boats and the surrounding hills, form a picturesque panorama. The harbour is not only an important point of call for visitors, but also conveys the charming, maritime character of the place and makes Portree a popular photographic subject.
