Led by the Skye and Lochalsh Archive Centre, a group of children from Portree primary – with Malcolm Mackenzie from Plockton and ATLAS – visited various sites around the town of Portree. The children had been visiting the archive centre over the course of several weeks, discussing Portree, its history and changes in the community.
Using archive images we compared shops, buildings and spotted some hidden gems such as the old stable entrance on Wentworth Street. Photographs from 1989 capturing children at play on the shore, making a seesaw from materials found, inspired a morning of exploring, chatting and making.
