:''For the Canadian village, see Arisaig, Nova Scotia.'' Arisaig ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Àrasaig)) is a village in Lochaber, Inverness-shire, on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands. The word Arisaig means "the safe place" in the Scottish Gaelic language. ==History== On 20 September 1746 Bonnie Prince Charlie left Scotland for France from a place near the village following the failure of the Jacobite rising of 1745. The site of his departure is marked by the Prince's Cairn, located at Loch nan Uamh to the east of Arisaig. In 1770 the Scottish Gaelic poet Alasdair Mac Mhaighstir Alasdair died in Arisaig and was buried in the village's Roman Catholic cemetery. Emigrants from this area founded Arisaig, Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1785. During the Second World War the area was taken over by the Special Operations Executive to train agents for missions in Occupied Europe. Arisaig House, along with many others, was used as a training school.〔Commando Country, Stuart Allan, National Museums Scotland 2007, ISBN 978-1-905267-14-9〕 The Land, Sea and Islands Centre〔(Land, Sea and Islands Centre )〕 in the village has a display on the connection between the SOE and Arisaig.〔Special Operations Executive: Para-Military Training in Scotland during World War 2, David M Harrison, Land Sea and Islands Centre, Arisaig〕 On 11 November 2009 a memorial to Czech and Slovak soldiers, who trained as SOE agents between 1943 and 1945, was unveiled in Arisaig.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mzv.cz/london/en/what_s_new/memorial_to_czechoslovak_soldiers.html )〕 Arisaig is in the Scottish council area of Highland. Tourism is the main industry in the Arisaig area. Several areas of England have Arisaig as a street name, such as Ouston, County Durham. A fictionalized Ardnish peninsula and Arisaig provide the setting for most of the "Ian and Sovra" series of children's novels by Elinor Lyon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arisaig」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
