Image: © Richard Dorrell Taken: 30 Sep 2009
Located in Bank Street at its junction with Stormyhill. This is the smaller of two supermarkets in Portree. In the 1920s, the ground floor of the building was divided into three shops - Lintons on the left (possibly a fruit and vegetable shop), Highland Home Industries in the middle and R MacDonald, quality butcher on the right. On the site of the present shop extension on the right was garage workshop with petrol pump outside. In the mid 1990s, the supermarket existed much as today, but trading under the name of Presto.
