Shieldaig



Shieldaig (Scottish Gaelic:Sìldeag) is a village in Wester Ross in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland.
The village was founded in 1800 with a view to training up seamen for war against Napoleon. After his (initial) defeat and exile to Elba, the community found itself a new role as a fishing village. The small island just offshore never had its tall pines harvested to rig warships, and has now become a nature sanctuary.
