From the Wikipedia article
Aird of Sleat (Scottish Gaelic: Àird Shlèite) is a village on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. It is located at the southern end of the Sleat peninsula, 4 miles (6 kilometres) southeast of Ardvasar and Armadale, at the end of a minor road. Lying 2 miles (3 kilometres) from Point of Sleat, it is the southernmost settlement on Skye. A track leads from the village to the Point of Sleat Lighthouse. A local legend tells of an outbreak of lycanthropy amongst a group of crofters in 1813. The famous surgeon James Syme wrote about the case in his journal. The village is home to the Aird Old Church, which was converted into an art gallery.
