Location:

Skeabost Bridge (Norse for protected land) is situated just a 10 minute drive from Portree the principal town on the island. Skeabost has a strong historical past being the location of The Battle of Trouternes which took place in 1539 between the MacDonalds and the MacLeods. The area is also home to an ancient chapel built on Saint Columba's Island situated at the mouth of the River Snizort. The chapel was dedicated to St Columba who is said to have visited the island around 585AD and the remains of the chapel and graveyard are still visible today.
