Settlements (and similar) on the Isle of Skye, Highland, Scotland. As of January 2021 Category:Populated places in the Isle of Skye contains 137 pages of which 44 are redirects.

Capital and main settlement

 * Portree, a town, bold on the standard A-Z, bold on the Mini A-Z, on OS county level, on the A-Z route planner, bot settlement, census locality

Other OS settlements

 * Lusta. That needs added back as a separate village. Quite a big place

All are on the standard A-Z unless stated otherwise.
 * Achachork That is ok. It has 40 odd houses. Most built in the last 10 years of so. ✅
 * Achnacloich It has more than 14. Currently a redirect and a wee port. Can be salvaged.✅
 * Achtalean, not on standard A-Z. Likely redirect. Possibly a former clearence village. Surrounded by other villages that are relatively close. ❌
 * Aird, on the Mini A-Z That is ok. Needs the reference. ✅
 * The Aird Couldn't locate this. Should probably redirect to Aird of Sleat ❌ Note that this is at NG4052 but there is another in Kilmuir so maybe an article or redirect should be at The Aird, Snizort?
 * Annishader, not on standard A-Z. Right next to Kensaleyre and redirected there. Scottish-places was years behind when I created the original list and in some aspects it still is. Lack of funding. Redirect can either stand or go, but both sides qualify as a villages. Redirect is probably best at the moment.  ✅
 * Ardroag It is right next to Dunvegan. Ok as a redirect. ✅
 * Ardtreck, not on standard A-Z There is 16 houses up that road as it head towards the point and lighthouse and it has a road sign at cutoff. That could be village. ✅
 * Ardvasar, on the Mini A-Z, on OS county level. That is ok. it is huge.✅
 * Armadale
 * Ardmore, not on standard A-Z. Already probably covered under Harlosh. It has only has 6-8 houses is a very small cul-de-sac and is right next to that village. Likely a redirect. ❌
 * Ashaig, not on standard A-Z. Likely created as it has industry and an airport. Big article. Right next to Lower Breakish. Unlikely to redirected. ✅
 * Balgown, Bracadale, not on standard A-Z. 100 metres to Struan. Dud. ❌
 * Balgown, Kilmuir, bold on the standard A-Z It is a location, not even a feature. Feature would be a mountain, a point, or a tidal flats, or a plateau for example. Possibly a clearance village. ❌
 * Balmacqueen Possibly a redirect from Kimaluag. Only six or eight houses and some of them look like outbuildings. Probably borderline. ✅
 * Balmeanach, Bracadale, not on standard A-Z. Really needs an article to cover that area and Caroy at the top of Loch Caroy. There is no article for that as well. Easily 30-40 house. ✅


 * Balmeanach, Kilmuir, not on standard A-Z
 * Balmeanach, Skye (Portree) Currently a redirect to Peinachorran, but the villages are almost exactly the same size, with roughly the same no. of houses in it. Is signposted. Convert back to a article and update. ✅
