Flodigarry Hotel, Ross & Macbeth, 1892 One of Skye's substantial Victorian lodges sheltered by wooded policies beneath the massive basalt ramparts of the Quiraing. Built for Maj. R. Macdonald, the crowstepped block of flinty rubble is 'offset' by a mockfortified billiard room wing of 1895, decorated in the Moorish style. Maj. Macdonald was a descendant of Flora Macdonald, whose early married home here (from 1751-64) was probably the core of Flodigarry Cottage, a pair of now largely 19th-century dwellings, refurbished late 20th century.
