Kilmore is a small hamlet, on the east coast of the Sleat peninsula of the Isle of Skye in the Inner Hebrides, and part of Inverness-shire. It is on the A851 road, just a quarter of a mile southwest of Ferindonald.
Sleat Parish Church (built in 1876) stands here, with the ruins of the Old Parish Church behind (1631–1876). A former Minister Rev. John Forbes (1818–63) was a noted Gaelic scholar who wrote a Gaelic grammar: he also investigated the deaths of three girls from the parish who were taken to the cotton mills of Manchester as forced-labour and published his findings in a book Weeping in the Isles (1853).[1]
The Gaelic college Sabhal Mòr Ostaig is half a mile to the south-west.
