Old Photograph Sligachan Scotland
Old photograph of a crofters cottage at Sligachan, Isle Of Skye, Scotland. Sligachan is close to the Cuillin mountains with a good viewpoint for seeing the 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 Ainort. There they found that their galleys had been moved offshore by the MacAskills, 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.
