The boat house on Loch Dunvegan near Dunvegan Castle that is. After purchasing our tickets to Dunvegan Castle , we walked up the long shrub lined path, and saw that part of the castle was covered up and being worked on. The part we could see was pretty darned cool, but it was a disappointment not to be able to see all of it as it would be. Oh well. "It is at once the greatest and most renowned among Hebridean strongholds, and the only one which has been continuously owned and (with the exception of the eighty years after the Potato Famine of the last century) occupied by the same family, during a period now reaching back over a span of very nearly 8 centuries. Architecturally it is a structure of high importance, containing work of at least ten building periods. "Within Dunvegan's stately halls are priceless heirlooms, some of which have descended in the hands of the Chiefs of MacLeod since medieval times. The precious Fairy Flag of Dunvegan, is the most treasured possession of the Clan and there are quite a few stories of how it came into the hands of the Clan. See the entry gate on maps.google.com/maps?. Here's an excerpt from marlesghille's web connection: "These impressive flat-topped mountains, Healabhal Beag (1601 ft) and Healabhal Mor (1538 ft), rise in gentle contrast to the jagged peaks of the Black Cuillins and stand at the Eastern boundary of the Glendale Estate. "According to legend, the flat summits were created after the visit of Saint Columba to the island. He was not well received by the Chief, who at this time lived in a Dun on the shores of Loch Bracadale, and was refused any hospitality. "St. Columba was invited to preach a sermon in the local church and chose as his theme: "The rabbits have their warrens, the birds have their nests but the messenger of the Lord has nowhere to lay his head". "During the sermon, the skies blackened and the ground shook, culminating in an almighty crash. On leaving the church, the congregation discovered that the tops of the two local mountains had been struck off, creating a bed for St. Columba to sleep on and a table for him to dine at."
