Hello Charlotte and thanks for sharing your memories. Portree is lovely, and as you remember the views from the tower are amazing. A return visit to Skye sounds an excellent idea!

Of our three weeks traveling throughout…we were fortunate enough to have three full days in Portree. We stayed at a wonderful BnB (painted pink) right on the harbor. On several occasions I walked around back of the buildings…up the lush green hill…right to a wonderful tour in ruins. The Apothacary Tower was captivating! And I captured many fine photos in, around, and from within that wonderful relic of history. Thanks for the memories! And thanks for the update. The tower today is not what I experienced those many years ago. Perhaps I will need a return visit!

Good afternoon Garance. I was surprised and delighted to find myself noted as ‘online folly connoisseur’ in the paper this morning. A great start to a damp morning in the Highlands which brightened in time for another folly stroll.

What more could one wish for… other than perhaps today, a copy of The Telegraph. For more information…!
