I was on skye a couple of weeks ago, lovely countryside and had fabulous weather. There is a clearly visible broch close to an a-road, and a map suggest there are numerous other broch remnants scattered about the island. I would be there are crop marks all over the island if you can get aerial footage. There were some other remnants I wanted to go see in the south of the isle but time didnt work out.
Perhaps more interestingly for the amateur historian, there is a good argument that the fairy flag in Dunvegan castle is Landwaster, Harald III (hardraada)’s banner he brought back from Constantinople - he died at stamford bridge, and if this is it it would have been brought to Man by a known pre-macleod survivor of the battle who fought with the norweigans. It can be seen (but not photographed) in the castle.
I guess this was near portree or broadford? the excerpt doesn’t say.
Wow, sounds great!
It has also been claimed that it was flown during the Crusades.
