The group stayed in Inveraray and included a number of NOSAS members who enjoyed the usual well researched sites and excellent evening talks. The first site was a Neolithic chambered cairn in Crarae Gardens. This cairn was excavated in the 1950s when it was discovered to contain inhumations and cremation burials. The chamber is divided into three sections by two septal slabs with the largest section at the rear. The next site was Arichonan township which overlooks Caol Scotnish, an inlet of Loch Sween, and which was cleared in 1848 though there were still some households listed in the 1851 census. Chambered cairn Marion Ruscoe Later maps indicate some roofed buildings as late as 1898.

MACCULLOCH EDINBURGH AND LONDON OLIPHANT ANDERSON & FERRIER 1905 Jerusalem, Athens, and Rome, I would see them before I die ! But I'd rather not see any one of the three, 'Plan be exiled for ever from Skye ! " Lovest thou mountains great, Peaks to the clouds that soar, Corrie and fell where eagles dwell, And cataracts dash evermore? Lovest thou green grassy glades. By the sunshine sweetly kist, Murmuring waves, and echoing caves? Then go to the Isle of Mist." Sheriff Nicolson. DA 15 To MACLEOD OF MACLEOD, C.M.G. Dear MacLeod, It is fitting that I should dedicate this book to you. You have been interested in its making and in its publica- tion, and how fiattering that is to an author s vanity / And what chief is there who is so beloved of his clansmen all over the world as you, or whose fiame is such a household word in dear old Skye as is yours ? A book about Skye should recognise these things, and so I inscribe your name on this page. Your Sincere Friend, THE A UTHOR. 8G54S7 EXILED FROM SKYE. The sun shines on the ocean, And the heavens are bhie and high, But the clouds hang- grey and lowering O'er the misty Isle of Skye. I hear the blue-bird singing, And the starling's mellow cry, But t4eve the peewit's screaming In the distant Isle of Skye.

They are also seen rising from wide peatlands, as in Glen Sligachan, and against the croftland Torrin and coastal woods of Torrin and southern Strathaird. The hills themselves may be red and rounded (the Red Cuillin between Glamaig and Marsco) or black and jagged (Bla Bheinn and its Strathaird satellites), and there’s also white limestone that outcrops and is Torrin was acquired by the quarried at Torrin. John Muir Trust in 1991, Strathaird in 1994 and The area west of the Blà Bheinn– Clach Glas–Garbh-bheinn ridge, Sconser in 1997. including Coire Dubh, is as wild as any land in Britain. Its rugged Areas nature is enhanced by its remoteness and loneliness and the absence of roads, tracks and vehicles. Torrin 2225 ha (5500 acres), Strathaird 6500 ha (15,000 The west boundary of the JMT land runs through Loch Coruisk, in acres), Sconser 3400 ha (8400 the heart of the Black Cuillin and undoubtedly the most spectacular acres).
