📌 Portree, Isle of Skye
★
“Worth the 1 min walk”, advises the local tourist map, and that pretty much perfectly sums up Portree’s “Little Falls”. This pair of miniature cataracts at the mouth of the River Chracaig are accessible by a very short, clear path from the edge of Skye’s main settlement. They can be very impressive when in spate. Scorrybreac Road – where the short path to the falls starts – has a pleasing outlook across Portree Bay, with the harbour area just about in view.
