Minginish

Minginish (Scottish Gaelic: Minginis) is a peninsula on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.

It is situated on the west coast of the island and runs from Loch Scavaig in the south (which separates Minginish from the Strathaird Peninsula), along the western coast of Skye to Loch Bracadale in the north west (which separates Minginish from the Duirinish Peninsula), to Loch Harport in the north east, and Glen Sligachan in the south east.

To the east, Loch Coruisk, which has been painted by William Daniell and J. M. W. Turner amongst others and visited by Walter Scott.

It is also possible to walk from Elgol, but one section of the path ("the Bad Step") presents some potential difficulties for the nervous or inexperienced.

The A87 (which runs south to north up Skye from Kyleakin up to Uig) touches Minginish at Sligachan.
