ID:QZP40_CARD_0130DESCRIPTION:Glenelg is a small village, looking across to the Isle of Skye. It is bound on three sides by sea - Loch Duich, the Sound of Sleat and Loch Hourn - and has only one access road over Mam Ratagan from Glen Shiel. Known until the 18th century as Kirkton, the village grew up round a parish church, and expanded with the arrival of the army and the building of the Bernera Barracks in 1717. The village is well-known as the location of two well-preserved Iron Age brochs, and was once the main crossing point for cattle droves from Skye to the mainland. A small ferry still plies the route during the summer monthsPLACENAME:GlenelgDISTRICT:LochaberOLD COUNTY/PARISH:INVERNESS: GlenelgPERIOD:1920sSOURCE:Highland LibrariesCOLLECTION:Highland Libraries' Postcard CollectionAsset ID:32022KEYWORDS:
