The summer sun sets over Portree Harbor in the village of Portree on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Portree's harbor has long served as a rest point for travelers between mainland Scotland and the Outer Hebrides. In the 1700s and later during the 1840s famine, the town was a popular point of departure for Scots sailing to America to escape poverty. About this time, the town began exporting fish, which contributed greatly to the local economy (Wikipedia).
