Portree of MacNab's Inn, the last meeting place of Flora MacDonald and Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1746. The town plays host to the Isle of Skye's shinty club, Skye Camanachd. They play at Pairc nan Laoch above the town on the road to Struan. Around 939 people (37.72% of the population) can speak Scottish Gaelic. The A855 road leads north out of the town, passing through villages such as Achachork, Staffin and passes the rocky landscape of the Storr before reaching the landslip of the Quiraing. The current name, ' translates as 'king's port', possibly from a visit by King James
Principal ideal principal ideals in formula_43 are of the form formula_44. Actually, every ideal formula_1 in formula_43 is principal, which can be shown in the following way. Suppose formula_47 where formula_48, then consider the surjective homomorphisms formula_49 Since formula_50 is finite, then for sufficiently large formula_51, formula_52 Thus, formula_53, which implies formula_1 is always finitely generated. Since the ideal generated by any integers formula_3 and formula_56, formula_57, is exactly formula_58, by induction on the number of generators, it follows that formula_1 is principal. However, all rings have principal ideals, namely, any ideal generated by exactly one element. For example, the ideal formula_60
