The music is Donovan's Colours. Apologies if the link is a little weak

Whilst in frivolous mood I found a spoof song about Portree called he 'Portree Kid' by the Corries.
It is a bit long but gave me a giggle

Super shot especially viewed in full screen,
Harbour, colourful houses what looks to be a school and a church
the shot has it all, oh and oil tanks. guess they are for the boats.

Thank you hon. Much appreciated. I am sure we all at some time had the odd daydream looking out of the school window instead of paying attention. Lucky students to be able to look out on this scene .

A great viewpoint and a lovely scene so well photographed. Faved for sure. Donovan's "Colours" works great for me here :-) An all-time classic. As Mick says, he has used this song. And, I could very well be using it in the not too-distant future :-) Love the Corries performance. Brilliant :-))) Thanks very much for posting to 'Sight and Sound', Carol.

Good evening and many thanks Roger. I did consider using Aerosmith's 'Living on the Edge', but thought it was a wee bit too tenuous! The Portree Kid made me smile, Portree has a timeless feel and even though it is an old recording I can imagine this being sung in the local pub even today. Have a lovely evening

A lovely view, Carol. We had a memorable meal in a restaurant, some years ago, at about where you took this image. Sadly your main music link was "blocked in your country for copyright reasons", but enjoyed the Corries. :-)

Than you George. We had our first taste of Cullen Skink in a restaurant along this harbourside It was really good and also memorable - I couldn't get it out of my hubby's shirt afterwards!
Sorry you couldn't hear all the music. Have a good evening

Thank you Skipper. Much appreciated. We have just been watching a programme about homes on the Isle of Skye and they showed these houses taken from almost the exact same spot. I imagine they are some of the most photographed houses on Skye. Enjoy your Sunday

Nice capture of the colourful Portree houses Carol. I was listening to "The Portree Kid" only a few weeks ago at my brother's house in St. Andrews, so funny!

Best regards, Doug
