Livvy game in Portree

[jodjam]

Working in Skye over the weekend. Usual watering hole is The Caley in Portree. Just wondered if any one else out and about in the town watching the game?

long time since I was there, braw wee place but my god the "royal hotel" which is I'm sure the place me and the wife stayed in....... was mair like the auld white hoose in Craigmillar! a right starwars bar, nae jokin'. First, this auld guy says,....can I sit here? I says...of course mate. he then sits doon,tells us that he's local and works fur the council but he has 30 sheep,in that quaint highland accent. he also says they sent him to the "English school" when he was eight, as his family all spoke the Gaelic. had a great natter with him, and he says aye, lots of changes here and there's too many English with their money! then, the really gid bit, was this wee burd wi' an accent that was frae possibly the Orkneys.....she then says ,naw ahm frae Dumfries and if ye buy me a double Voddy, I'll show ye a trick. I did so, then she proceded to walk the full lenth of the bar on her hands! despite the fact that she wore a short skirt, although she kept the panties oan!:faf: deserved a double vodka,that did.

You find some real 'eccentrics' in those wee communities. I'm sure some of them have been sent there to be out of harm's way.

I'm sure some of them have been sent there to be out of harm's way.loved the craic, and was totally surprised when we knew beds were at a premium at that time,to get a response from the man behind the reception, naw wur full mate. I then said to him, ah, a kirkaldy golf club man(he had a polo shirt indicating that) .I'm from doon that way, worked wi loads o' fifers in the pits. he then said, ma Da wis a miner, gies 20 minutes, we'll get ye sorted oot. suddenly we had a room ready. braw!

I said before on he Livi thread, it's amazing how everywhere is referenced by pubs in Scotland. Any place where it's hard to get a drink is doomed :-D

[PatHead]

Can you get a drink on the boat? :-)

[aunty joyce]

If I recall correctly PatHead I'm sure you can 🍻🍻🍻

[aunty joyce]

Harry Dick's on the pier is a good place for the craic - probably not much bigger than the foyer at Behind the Goals but had many a good night in there some years back 👍

I'm really lucky that I'm up there loads. It's a stunning island

The Caley and The Isles hotel are your best bet for showing the game.
