I just heard about the Skye music festival, which will be held in Portree the same time as my planned visit in 2027. Is this something that will make the already crowded island more so? should I avoid Skye at that time? try to book for a different time? Does anyone have any experience with this? Skyegirl? Thanks Sue

There are a couple of festivals each year. Do you mean Skye Live? It's just happened for 2026 and I don't think dates are officially announced yet for 2027 but it's usually the first weekend in May.
If so then Portree might be busier, but other parts of the island no more busy than usual.
If a different festival could you let me know which one?
Thanks
