Claigan, Scottish Gaelic: An Claigeann, is on the on the north east shore of the sea loch, Loch Dunvegan, on the Waternish peninsula. Although known as the Coral Beach, the sand here is made out of dried, calcified algae known as maerl. There are also thousands of tiny, delicate snail shells. The name Waternish, is derived from the Old Norse " vatnenes, " means " headland of the pond ". The peninsula has a history of conflict, notably the Battle of the Spoiling Dyke at Trumpan, where the MacDonalds massacred the MacLeods in 1578. Like much of the Highlands, Waternish experienced depopulation during the Clearances, with people forced off their land. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February.
