Flodigarry is a scattered settlement on the north-eastern side of the Trotternish peninsula on the isle of Skye, Inverness-shire.
The small island of Eilean Flodigarry lies less than a mile off the coast with Sgier na Éireann just beyond to the north-east.
In 1750 the Jacobite Flora MacDonald and her fiancé Allan MacDonald were married and lived in a cottage in Floddigarry.[1]
In 2008 the singer KT Tunstall was married at the Flodigarry Hotel which abuts the cottage.[2]
