Old Photograph Ferry Portree Isle Of Skye Scotland
Old photograph of the ferry named Broadford at Portree, Isle Of Skye, Scotland. Port Rìgh translates as king's port, possibly from a visit by King James V of Scotland in 1540. Prior to the 16th century the settlement's name was Kiltaraglen, the church of St. Talarican, from Gaelic Cill Targhlain. Portree is the home of a fictional professional Quidditch team in the Harry Potter universe called the Pride of Portree. The film Made of Honor partially takes place in Portree. A sweeping shot of the town's main street is shown. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
