Scope and Content A town square with a car passing a market cross flanked by street lamps. Portree is the only town in Skye. The market cross has memorial plaques round the base. Stone cottages and tenements and other buildings line the square and the street leading off. Prince Charles Edward Stewart arrived here in 1746 dressed as 'Betty Burke' having escaped with Flora Macdonald to Skye from the mainland in the aftermath of the abortive Jacobite Rising; he said goodbye to her at McNab's Inn, now the 'Royal Hotel'.
