Sligachan

Sligachan is a mountainous area in the north of Skye, it is in the direction of Portree, the largest and most important city on the island. However, Sligachan is something else, it is a crossroads of unknown antiquity, is a bridge and also a valley, but mostly it's a place of legend. The shape of the mountains, the clouds and especially their orientation produce climatological effects that make this a special place - the sunsets create a curious optical effect by reflecting the last rays of the sun onto the clouds. The impression given is that everything will turn red. In ancient times this effect meant that this place was considered to be a meeting point of the gods or a place to pay tribute.
