Old photograph of a thatched cottage near Dunvegan, Isle of Skye, Scotland. This is Clan MacLeod country. It is also the home area of Celtic fusion band Peatbog Faeries. Dunvegan is within the parish of Duirinish. Historically, Duirinish was also a parish in the county of Inverness-shire. The parish was larger than the peninsula and included Vaternish and Edinbane. The Gaelic name Diùranais or Diùirinis means " deer headland " and is in part derived from the Old Norse dyr. The peninsula is also known as dùthaich nam mogan, meaning " land of the mogan shoes ", and the inhabitants as moganaich.
