Eilean Fladday (also Fladda) is a previously populated, tidal island off Raasay, near Skye, Scotland.
Geography
Eilean Fladday lies off the north west coast of Raasay, across Caol Fladday (Kyle Fladda), which dries at half-tide.[1]
Once a thriving crofting community, the island now only has three cottages, used as holiday lets. The population is recorded as 29 (1841), 51 (1891), 12 (1951) and 12 (1971).[2] Five families lived there in the late 1920s. Their petition to Inverness County Council to build a road and footbridge was rejected.[2] A subsequent appeal to the Education Department to provide a school, was successful only after a rate strike.[2] Raasay crofter, Calum MacLeod (who later built "Calum's Road") constructed a track from Torran to Fladda between 1949 and 1952. This did not stem the exodus from the island and the last families left Fladda in 1965.[2]
