Flodigarry (Scottish Gaelic: Flòdaigearraidh) is a scattered settlement on the north east side of the Trotternish peninsula on the island of Skye, and is in the Scottish council area of Highland.[1]
The small island of Eilean Flodigarry (Scottish Gaelic: Eilean Fhlòdaigearraidh) lies less than 1 kilometre (5⁄8 mile) off the coast with Sgeir na Éireann just beyond to the north east.
In 1750 the Jacobite Flora MacDonald and her fiancé Allan MacDonald were married and lived in a cottage in Flodigarry.[2]
