From the Wikipedia article
Skye and Lochalsh (Scottish Gaelic: 'An t-Eilean Sgitheanach agus Loch Aillse') was a local government district, created in 1975 as one of eight districts within the Highland region in Scotland. It include the Isle of Skye and the Lochalsh area on the mainland. The main offices of the council were in Portree, on the Isle of Skye. The district was abolished in 1996 when Highland was made a single-tier council area.

Background
History
The district was created in 1975 under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, which abolished Scotland's counties, burghs and landward districts and replaced them with a two-tier system of regions and districts. The new district covered two former districts: the Skye district from Inverness-shire (covering the Isle of Skye and neighbouring Inner Hebridean islands) and the South West district from Ross and Cromarty (covering the parishes of Lochalsh, Kintail and Glenshiel). Skye and Lochalsh District Council was a district-level authority, with regional-level functions provided by the Highland Regional Council, based in Inverness.
