Stadsadvies

Wat je mee moet nemen

Bring water & wind-proof clothing

The weather in Scotland is very unpredictable and we can go through all 4 seasons in one day. I would always recommend brining an umbrella as well as a raincoat, as it can get too windy to use an umbrella.
Nuttige zinnen

Scottish words you might not know

Aye = yes Wee = small Ken = know Bonny = beautiful/ nice Auld = old Hen/ Lass = girl Dinnae = don’t Piece = sandwich Tattie = potato
Boek voordat je gaat

Restaurants

I highly recommend booking restaurants for evening meals before you arrive, as it gets very busy in Portree during the summer / bank holidays.
