  • The Quiraing, Trotternish Ridge, on the Isle of Skye, looking east toward the North Atlantic Ocean. The Quiraing is an 18-mile long landslide that occurred roughly 6 million years ago when the heavy overburden of lava rock crushed the soft underlying sandstone beneath and fell toward the sea. Parts of the Quiraing are still moving slowly toward the ocean.

  • Glen Shiel, English military road, site of the Battle of Glen Shiel, 1719. This is a remnant of the Fort Augustus to Bernera Barracks Military Road built by Major William Caulfield. Fort Augustus is at the southwest end of Loch Ness and the Bernera Barracks is 43 miles to the west on the shore of Kyle Rhea between the mainland and the Isle of Skye. Construction on the Bernera Barracks began in 1719 after the Battle of Glen Shiel to secure the crossing of English troops to the Isle of Skye. The barracks housed up to 200 English Hanoverian (Hanover claim to the throne) troops fighting the Jacobites (Stuart claim to the throne). Initial plans for the road were drawn up in 1746 by Daniel Paterson. However, Caulfield didn't begin construction on the road until 1755, long after the 1719 Battle of Glen Shiel. The road was finished in 1763, but the Bernera Barracks had become militarily irrelevant and troop numbers reduced there some years before the end of the Jacobite resistance at the Battle of Culloden (near Inverness) in 1746.  The barracks were abandoned by 1797 and reports from 1791-99 indicate the road at that time had also been abandoned by the military for several years and had fallen into disrepair.

  • Glen Shiel and the River Shiel. This is the site of the Battle of Glen Shiel which occurred on June 10, 1719. Referred to as the "Little Rising" or "the 19", it is the second major battle in the Jacobite uprising saga, the first being in 1715. Allied with around 200 Spanish forces, the Jacobites (including notables like Rob Roy MacGregor) fought the English (and Dutch and other Scottish clans) but were defeated in this single skirmish lasting around 4 hours. It is also the last close engagement of English and foreign troops on the mainland. The Jacobites had captured Eilean Donan Castle at the west end of Glen Shiel and were using it as a supply base. The Spanish and some Scots were stationed there and refused to surrender when fired upon by English ships. The battle began at 5pm and ended at 9pm when the Jacobites retreated and dispersed. About 21 English soldiers were killed and 100 - 121 wounded, and about 100 Jacobites were killed with  100+ wounded. The next (and final) Jacobite uprising wouldn't occur until 1745 at Culloden, near Inverness.
