Old Photograph Mill Road Broadford Scotland
Old photograph of cottages, houses and people on Mill Road, Broadford, Isle Of Skye, Scotland. Like many places in Skye, Broadford derives its name from Old Norse. To the Vikings, this was Breiðafjorðr, meaning the wide bay The Gaelic name is of modern derivation and assumes that the " ford " element meant a river crossing. West of Broadford in Glen Suardal, on the lower slopes of Beinn na Caillich, is Goir a' Bhlàir, The battle concerned was apparently a decisive action by the Gaelic Clan Mackinnon against the Norsemen
