Skye's summer brings long daylight hours and crowded ferries, while winter sailings are often cancelled by weather. British islands were fortified in both world wars, and concrete coastal defences still stand on several. Puffins, guillemots, razorbills and Manx shearwaters breed on British island cliffs and offshore islets. Reaching Portree from the main resorts is straightforward, since the town sits within the road network that links it to the island's other settlements.
