AUTHOR’S NOTE


Many thanks to the people of Portree, who were so hospitable during my visit. I would particularly like to thank, and recommend:

Andy Kulesza of Stardust Boat Trips, for a fantastic trip where no one went overboard. I hope I haven’t stolen too much of your patter.

Michelle Rhodes of Skye History and Heritage Day Tours, for showing me the sights and answering my odd questions.

The staff at Portree Independent Hostel, which is more than a hotel for smelly people.
