Tour Scotland Photograph Video Glen Sligachan Isle Of Skye


Tour Scotland photograph of Glen Sligachan, Isle Of Skye, Scotland. Glen Sligachan runs for eight miles to the South to meet the sea at Camasunary near Elgol, and divides the rounded Red Cuillin from the jagged Black Cuillin mountains. Tradition has it that the Lord of the Isles attacked Skye in 1395, but William MacLeod met the MacDonalds at Sligachan and drove them back to Loch Eynort. There they found that their galleys had been moved offshore by the Clan MacAskill, and every invader was killed. The spoils were divided at Creag an Fheannaidh, Rock of the Flaying, or Creggan ni feavigh, Rock of the Spoil, sometimes identified with the Bloody Stone in Harta Corrie below the heights of Sgurr nan Gillean
