Portree Harbour, Isle of Skye

Portree Harbour is surrounded by cliffs which sets a stunning view for anybody looking to take a stroll along the waters edge and wharf.

Travel Scotland, The Best Small Country In The World

Ever since I applied for my youth mobility visa to live and work in the UK I’d wanted to travel Scotland. I always saw it as this untouched wilderness that bore truth to tales like the Loch Ness monster. Scotland has this allure to it that not many other places in the world do, it’s as if visiting there could whisk me off into another time. It took me over […]
