Glendale, Skye
Glendale ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Gleann Dail)) is a community-owned estate on the north-western coastline of the Duirinish peninsula on the island of Skye and is in the Scottish council area of Highland.〔("Glendale Today" ) Caledonia.org.uk. Retrieved 20 July 2009.〕 The estate encompasses the small crofting townships of Skinidin, Colbost, Fasach, Glasphein, Holmisdale, Lephin, Hamaraverin, Borrodale, Milovaig and Waterstein.
==Etymology==
The Gaelic name, ''Gleann Daill'', is derived from ''gleann'', meaning "valley", which usually refers to a harsher environment that can be steep and/or rocky, and ''dail'' meaning "field, dale, meadow, plain or river-meadow", which usually refers to fertile, arable land beside water. The Ordnance Survey (2005) suggest that ''dail'' may also mean "level field by a river". This makes the English translation read: "valley of river-meadows" or "valley of level fields by a river".
Mac an Tàilleir (2003) suggests that ''dail'' is derived from the Norse ''dalr'', giving a tautological name, where both parts simply mean "valley".
