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.

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