These pages of our website are being developed in conjunction the with Skye and Lochalsh Council of Voluntary Organisation‘s Advancing Active Journeys project. This project is grant funded by Paths For All and Think Health Think Nature. We aim to raise awareness and promote active travel in every day life.
As Portree is our local village and also the capital of the Isle of Skye it has been fun to assess all it’s amenities for accessibility. It is easy to take these things for granted.
Portree has many cafes and restaurants, these will feature under our Food and Drink menu. As we go about our daily business in the village we will try to categorise the shops, banks, Post Office, supermarkets, doctors etc into the drop down menu under Portree amenities.
If you are looking for something in particular please use the search bar on the right hand side.
We have mapped Portree to help promote the health benefits of getting outdoors for daily journeys to the shops, chemist, post office etc. We would like people who have limited mobility to feel confident in the journeys they are taking.. The map will show where key access points such as dropped kerbs and benches are located. Walking or rolling/wheeling for health benefits can be incorporated into daily journeys but often not knowing how to get about is the barrier. We hope to overcome some of these barriers during this project.
