Sartle Burial Ground


Sartle Burial Ground is next to the minor road, which crosses the Trotternish peninsula between Brogaig (Staffin) and Uig.



Further up the road is a modern cemetery, Cill a'Bhealaich, which has no pre-1979 inscriptions.



The wonderful landscape of the Trotternish escarpment gives a fine backdrop to this part of Skye.

My GGF Charles Nicolson was the son of Margaret MacDonald, whose father was Capt. Sorlie/Samuel MacDonald of Sartle, and James Nicolson, who left Duntulm for the state of Vistoria, Australia with his adult children under the HIES, in the early 1850's.

If anyone is in the area, it would be wonderful if someone could look to see if there is a headstone for my 4th great grandfather, Hugh Maclean. He was born 1780, died 1855. His parents were John Maclean, and Winifred Macdonald. His 2 wives were Mary Maclean then Margaret Gordon. His children were DOnald, Mary, Anne, John (1), Malcolm, John (2), Janet, Angus and Alexander.
Many thanks, Julie Robert, Nee Fraser on juls333@hotmail.co.uk
