The Fairy Flag, Dunvegan Castle and the Fairy Bridge
The Fairy Flag is to be found in Dunvegan Castle but is thought to have come from The Fairy Bridge which is 3 miles away from the Castle. This site is magical but also a bit tragic as this is supposed to be the last location where the Chief of Clan Macleod saw his Fairy wife before leaving to return to Fairyland. It is also said that The Fairy Flag has the ability to save him from danger when it is waved. -
