SligaChan Hotel, Sligachan, Isle of Skye, Scotland, c1960. Artist: CM Dixon
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

EDITORS COMMENTS
SligaChan Hotel, Sligachan, Isle of Skye, Scotland, c1960. Captured by the talented artist CM Dixon, this print showcases the picturesque beauty of a small settlement nestled in the heart of Skye. The hotel's whitewashed facade stands as a testament to its rich history and traditional Scottish charm. Situated near the majestic Cuillin mountains, SligaChan Hotel offers an ideal vantage point for admiring the breathtaking Black Cuillin range. Steeped in legend and folklore, this region witnessed a historic clash between clans when William MacLeod bravely defended Skye against Lord of the Isles' attack in 1395. The MacDonalds were ultimately driven back to Loch Eynort with their galleys stranded offshore by cunning MacAskills. The tranquil lakeside setting adds to the allure of this remote location. As sunlight dances on the water's surface, it creates a stunning reflection that enhances the natural splendor surrounding Sligachan. This landscape is a true testament to Scotland's rugged beauty and serves as an inspiration for artists like CM Dixon. Preserved in vibrant color and captured during daylight hours, this photograph transports viewers back to mid-20th century Scotland. It encapsulates not only architectural details but also evokes a sense of timelessness that defines both country life and geography on Skye's enchanting Isle. This remarkable image by CM Dixon allows us to appreciate both historical significance and scenic wonders without commercial intent.
