Armadale (Шаблон:Lang-gd) is a village near the southern end of the Sleat peninsula on the Isle of Skye, in the Highland council area of Scotland.[1] Like most of Sleat, but unlike most of Skye, the area is fairly fertile, and though there are hills, most do not reach a great height. It looks out over the Sound of Sleat, to Morar and Mallaig.

The name ’Armadale’, meaning ‘elongated valley’, derives from the Old Norse armr and dalr.[2] Clan Donald has a visitor centre situated next to the ruins of Armadale Castle and surrounded by large gardens, while the nearby Sabhal Mòr Ostaig is a centre of Gaelic learning.
