which accounts for about a third of the total workforce, principally in
administration, education and health. The second largest employer in the area
is the distribution, hotels and restaurants sector, highlighting the importance
of tourism. Key attractions include Dunvegan Castle, the Clan Donald Visitor
Centre, and The Aros Experience arts and exhibition centre in Portree. There
