Caption

SligaChan Hotel, Sligachan, Isle of Skye, Scotland, c1960. A small settlement on Skye, Scotland. It is close to the Cuillin mountains and provides 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 Eynort (Ainort). There they found their galleys had been moved offshore by the MacAskills and every invader was killed
