Not sure, but could the mountain in the far distance be Sligachan (the northernmost mountain of the Cuillin Horseshoe)? The shape looks about right but I don't recall seeing it from here (I think it was always raining!)
I'm also not sure the cottages were so attractively painted when I was here last (1980), but it's possible.
A super shot! Enjoyable in many different ways!.
Have a good week.
Best wishes,
Andy

Hi Andy

Thank you so much.

I am pleased it brings back nice memories for you. Unfortunately I am not so well up on Scottish mountains, so simply I don't know. As for the colours, maybe they know that coloured houses attract visitors, which bring money...!!!!

A lovely area, Peter, and perfect weather too. I love the reflections of the colourful houses in the harbour.

Hi Rosa,

Thank you! I don't know why there are so brightly painted, but as you say, it makes a nice picture, and attracts visitors!

Hello Peter what a lovely shot indeed and it certainly has been a little while since we visited here also .. In addition to Andy's thoughts of the mountain .. my thoughts are GLAMAIG just over Loch Sligachan ?

The painted houses are reminiscent of Tobermory on Mull

Best wishes ... Steve

Hi Steve,

Thank you for sharing your superior knowledge here. I have never been to the island of Mull, maybe one day.
Perhaps the brightly colored houses are a Scottish tradition. None the less, glad you like it.

A beautiful image Peter and an excellent capture. I have stood in this spot many times. I really like Portree. As Steve says the brightly coloured buildings are reminiscent of Tobermory, where the children's tv series Balamory was set many years ago. Mull is a lovely island and Tobermory is a little gem of a place - well worth a visit if you ever get the chance. I hope you enjoyed Portree - I wish I were there now!

Beautiful capture of Portree Harbour and colourful buildings with their lovely reflections Peter. I have a similar shot from the same place but not as good as this one. Dull day and rain is my excuse!
