The Hebrides / Skye / Isle of Skye region
From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the rugged landscapes of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. The beautiful countryside of Dumfries and Galloway is littered with fortresses and strongholds, testimony to its dramatic history. Moving north, the Highlands are to Scotland what the Pyrenees are to France, with equally breathtaking scenery and fantastic opportunities for walking and mountaineering. Aviemore and the Cairngorms National Park are particularly famous for skiing, whilst Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain at 1343m, is a firm favourite for those seeking a challenge.
For the less energetic, the Whisky Trail provides a unique way of exploring many of Scotland’s attractions and for quieter moments, there’s always Loch Ness and a chance to spot the elusive monster! Scotland also has some of Britain’s best and cleanest beaches. Cromarty is famous for its bottle-nosed dolphins and Nairn, whilst claiming to be one of the sunniest and driest places in the country, has glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam. Several islands lie off the Scottish coast, each with their own character and heritage, however the Isle of Skye is probably the best known and most visited. As the largest of the Inner Hebrides, Skye’s turbulent geological past has bequeathed it a stunning coastline.
Experienced walkers are drawn to the Black Cuillin Mountains, whilst those less experienced have an array of lower level coastal walks from which to choose or alternatively, visitors can take some time to visit Skye’s capital, the charming harbour town of Portree.
The Portree area
Situated on the Isle of Skye, the village of Balmaquein is situated between Duntulm and Flodigarry, where Flora McDonald famously helped Bonnie Prince Charlie to escape from his pursuers by dressing him as a woman. This stunning island has a wide array of visitor attractions, such as the Skye Museum of Island Life, Dunvegan Castle and the Aros Centre. Portree, the Island’s capital is set around a natural harbour and is full of shops, hotels and restaurants. With the Skye Bridge now in place, access to the mainland is easy, but for those wishing to take the 'Bonny Boat' to Skye, a ferry still runs throughout the summer months.

Guestbook for 1279 - 2 and 3 Balmaquein
Position of cottage next to sea. The view from the upstairs bedroom - fantastic with a lovely big window which opened very wide.
Mr Preece, Stalybridge, Greater Manchester

,Wonderful location, lovely house.
Mrs Garratt, Rugby, Warwickshire

,A warm, clean cottage with beautiful surroundings and views. It was quiet, peaceful and secluded.
Mrs Hunter, Liverpool, Merseyside
April 2011
,We really enjoyed the property we rented. It was in a gorgeous location, secluded yet not too remote - Portree being just a 30 minute drive away. We were pleasantly surprised at the state of the kitchen. The cutlery and crockery available far exceeded our expectations. The living room area was wonderful and we particularly appreciated the provision of a few boardgames and puzzles for the rainy days. The heating throughout the house was very good.
