Strathaird

[1] W. H. Murray said that "Skye is sixty miles long, but what might be its breadth is beyond the ingenuity of man to state".

It is the smallest and least populous of Skye's main peninsulas, containing only the hamlets of Elgol, Kirkibost, Kilmarie, Drinan and Glasnakille, which are accessed via the B8083 road.

The ruins of the Iron Age hill fort Dun Ringill are east of Kirkibost on the shores of Loch Slapin.

[3] The Strathaird Estate was bought by musician Ian Anderson, the frontman for Jethro Tull, in 1978.

Anderson started a salmon farming business at Strathaird, which expanded throughout Scotland.
