Fladdachuain, an uninhabited pastoral islet of Kilmuir parish, Inverness-shire, 6 miles NW of Aird Point in Skye. It measures ¾ mile in length and 300 yards in average breadth; is clothed with remarkably fine grass; had anciently three burying-places; and also, till a recent period, retained nine stones of an ancient Caledonian stone circle. A one-inch diameter ring, of plaited gold wires, was found in a moss here, and bought for the Edinburgh Antiquarian Museum in 1851.
