Armadale, Isle of Skye
Encyclopedia : A : AR : ARM : Armadale, Isle of Skye
Armadale (Scottish Gaelic: Armadail) is a village on the Sleat Peninsula of the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Like most of Sleat, but unlike most of Skye, the area is fairly fertile, and though there are hills, most do not reach a great height. It looks out over the Sound of Sleat, to Morar and Mallaig.
Clan Donald has a visitor centre situated next to the ruins of Armadale Castle and surrounded by large gardens, while the nearby Sabhal Mòr Ostaig is a centre of Gaelic learning.
The burgh is also a small port, and has a regular Caledonian MacBrayne ferry service to Mallaig. It is at the southern end of the A851 road. When walking on the beach near the pier, it is possible to see otters and seals.
Armadale, West Lothian is named after it.
