According to tradition, twenty-eight chiefs of the MacNicols or Nicolsons lie buried in holy ground on St. Columba's Islands. A detached chapel by the medieval church is known as Aite Adhlaic Mhic Neacail, rendered loosely in English as `Nicolson's Aisle'. In it lies a recumbent stone of typical West Highland type, of sixteenth century date, displaying an armed warrior, reputed to be a MacNicol. If the tradition of burial at Snizort is accurate, the connection between the Clann MhicNeacail or Nicolsons and Skye must be as old as the name itself.
Weather permitting, local guide Catriona Maclean will be offering walking tours of Portee and Scorrybreac. Details will be provided at the welcome drinks on the Thursday night
