What to do and see in Isle of Skye, Scotland: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

June 27, 2021 Karren Gelb

The landscape is dramatic—even a bit moody, with the Cuillin Range in the background—but outdoorsy kids will have a blast on the Isle of Skye. Plenty of water sports are available, and you’ll also find great hiking and even pony rides. Portree, the largest town, makes a great base for exploring this striking island.

We visited the gallery on a trip to Skye and got a couple of fantastic prints from Duncan that really captured the amazing views on Skye. We liked the cat too, and would highly recommend the studio to anyone passing by!
