Description

Macleod's Tables overlooking Dunvagen Loch, Isle of Skye, Scotland It is said that the chief of Clan Macleod had bragged about having a table even grander and ceilings higher than those of King James IV . The King called the chiefs bluff and agreed to visit. The feast was laid out on the grassy summit of a flat-topped mountain, with the starry heavens as a ceiling and hundreds of tall clansmen holding torches aloft as candles for the chief's gargantuan table. So impressed was James that he issued a royal charter that this part of Skye along with other lands to be Macleods land on perpetuity.
