Old Photograph Meanish Pier Loch Pooltiel Isle Of Skye Scotland

Old photograph of Meanish Pier at Loch Pooltiel, Isle of Skye, Inner Hebrides, Scotland. The pier lies at the heart of Glendale at Meanish point and was important to trade and helped to link the area with other parts of Skye and the mainland. Between 1882 and 1883 local crofters here rose up against their landowner who was clearing land of tenants to make way for large scale sheep production. HMS Jackal was sent into Loch Pooltiel to land marines at Meanish Pier to aid in the arrest of the rebellion’s ringleader.
