Poncing about Portree

Today we headed to Portree which was the largest town on the island. We found a small car park right next to the coast, and it didn’t take us long to get a nice view of the harbour. We found a crafts fair in the community centre and had a quick walk around before following the coastal path out to “The Lump”. This was a scenic coastal path on a piece of headland. At its tip was a grass amphitheatre, and there was also a beautiful Victorian stone watchtower to ascend and explore. We had a wander down to the harbour then decided on fish and chips for lunch. We had to wait a while for an outside table, but when our orders were called it was worth it. After a brief supply stock, we just needed a convenience stop before we headed back to the car. A coach party had formed a queue, but luckily one of the less mobile members of our group had a radar key to access the private disabled toilet. Normally, they’d be happy to help the coach party out, but as they were knocking on the door while she was in there she decided not to bother.
