Car Parking In Portree

[Early Riser]

Hi All,
Two of us are planning to walk the Skye Trail in early June (6th - 14th) and I need to find a secure car parking space in or around Portree for about seven days. Does anyone have any ideas? I'd be quite happy to pay a reasonable fee for somewhere safe and secure.
Thanks, John.

There's a long stay car park in Portree; as you enter the village from Broadford heading towards the square you'll see a sign pointing to a turn off to the right. Arrive early and you'll get a space. It was free, I haven't used it for a year or so, maybe that has changed.

Hi Caberfeidh,
Thanks for that bit of information, I've just recieved an e-mail from Torvaig campsite they've said I can park my car there free as I will be using that site at least three times over the seven or so days we are on Skye.
Cheers, John.

But theres a sign too that says No Overnight Parking...

and how would they know if you "arrive" early in the morning and "leave" late at night? How would they enforce that??

Overnight police patrol maybe?

There is a sign for Not Overnight Parking for Caravans!
I stay in the hostels there for several nights and park always on the long stay car park overnight. I read the sign several times because I park directly opposite to it. Use Google Streetview and you also can read the sign.

You're right. Just had a look. I thought there was also a red-font sign, but its not there on Street View.
