Portree

The ship at the pier is MacBrayne's Claymore which from 1881 to 1931 ran fortnightly from Glasgow to ports up the west coast as far as Lochinver and out to Stornoway delivering cargo. This was the principal means of delivering heavy, non-perishable goods in the days before road transport took over. These sailings were also marketed as cruises in summer.
