Hi, my family and I are traveling to the Isle of Skye in November. My wife likes to collect paints of the places we visit from local artists. I already have a list of local galleries, but I was wondering if there were any places around the isle where we might find artists painting/selling their products? As she traditionally likes to buy from the artists directly in person.
Thanks for any help in advance.
We’re on a road trip through Skye and the internet coverage throughout it was decent- with a huge exception of Portree.
Looks like I have 4G there, but it just doesn’t connect to the internet…
I know that this happens because there are a lot of people and networks isn’t coping with it - but still- why?
Why not installing more retranslators and extend the network, at least in the city? You know that a lot of people come here - and the network will be jammed. So just expand the network there!
Tourists bring money, so Portree can definitely afford it.
How do locals live in these conditions though?
We’re probably too late for the established tours and most of them don’t advertise a geology slant anyway. Any locals with a bit of general knowledge about the island’s geology willing to haul us (2) around for half a day on the 14th?
I keep reading that reservations are needed for almost every restaurant. Are there any that are casual and/or takeaway that do NOT require reservations? I’m based in Portree but have a car.
How important is it to have reservations on Skye around the middle of September, granted on a weekend, but I am not a picky eater and will be a solo traveler?!? Any and all help much appreciated! One night will be rather late back from a group tour, but my first evening I was planning on walking about!!
