Bracadale (Template:Langx Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a settlement and civil parish on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.[1][2] It lies on the west coast of the island, west-south-west of Portree, on Loch Beag, an inlet off Loch Harport. Nearby settlements include Struan to the west and Coillore on the opposite shore of Loch Beag. The parish reaches eastwards as far as Sligachan.[3]
Etymology
The name could derive from the Old Norse for "juniper dale"[4] or "bracken dale"; or from the Scottish Gaelic breac and dail, meaning "spotted valley", or "valley of the trout/salmon".
