A small town found on one of Scotland's most popular islands has just been hailed by Time magazine as 'one of the world's greatest places'.
The influential American publication has named it on a list of 50 different 'extraordinary destinations to explore' for 2022 alongside the likes of the Great Barrier Reef, Galapagos Islands, the Trans Bhutan Trail and even the International Space Station.
The incredible list sees Portree, the capital town of the island of Skye, sit alongside many of the world's most stunning places, with the writers hailing it for its "whiskey [sic] and wilderness".
Travel writer Brad Japhe hails it as a big draw for 'city-weary Glaswegians' and tourists from around the world, thanks to its 'Tolkienesque terrain', whisky distilleries and even its excellent fish and chips.
He wrote: "The Isle of Skye has a stunning Scottish landscape characterized by coastal cliffs, craggy hills, and medieval castles, and its capital of Portree (pop. 2,300) is just as inviting as it is rugged.
Nearby, explore the landscape on countless miles of well-maintained hiking trails. Amble your way along the Old Man of Storr, a mossy pinnacle that stands some 2,300 ft. above sea level. Or complete a 4.3-mile circuit through the Quiraing, with unmistakably Tolkienesque terrain.
"When you’re back in town, you’re as likely to hear and taste the local culture as you are to see and feel it. The annual Skye Live Music Festival returned in 2022, and the island recently celebrated the opening of Torabhaig, its first new whisky distillery in 190 years.
"Save room for the fried fish: Portree’s seaside chippers are among the best in all of Britain."
