Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Phort Righ is a Gaelic-medium all-gender primary school in Portree on Skye, Scotland. The school opened April 2018, becoming the third purpose-built Gaelic school in the Highland Council area. The £8.7 million building was built by Robertson Construction.[1] The School had 169 pupils as of January 2026.[2] The current Headteacher is Flora Guidi.[3]

One local councillor criticised the new school as a "disaster for community relations" as pupils in a small community should not be divided by language.[4]

Catchment

The school’s catchment has a variety of villages across the island including Edinbane, Uig, Staffin, Carbost, Dunvegan and many more across northern Skye.[5]
