Clan Macleod - Cuillin Hills - Photo Print

The Cuillin Hills, located on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, are a rugged and dramatic range of mountains that have a deep connection to Clan Macleod. The clan's origins can be traced back to the 13th century, and they were one of the most influential families in the Western Isles.

The Macleods held Dunvegan Castle as their ancestral seat, and the Cuillin Hills dominate the skyline of the clan's heartlands. The clan played a significant role in the history of the region, often involved in feuds with neighbouring clans and supporting the Scottish Crown during various conflicts.

One of the most famous members of Clan Macleod was Flora Macleod, who famously aided Bonnie Prince Charlie's escape after the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The Cuillin Hills were a backdrop to many of the clan's activities and remain a symbol of their rugged origins.

The hills themselves are known for their unique geological formations and breathtaking beauty. This print captures the last whispers of daylight, which shape the extraordinary landscape and accentuating the grandeur of Skye. With this view it is easy to imagine Macleod ancestors looking out over their lands with a sense of pride and belonging.
