Sleat, Peninsula in Highland, Scotland.
The Sleat peninsula extends for 20 miles in length and 3 miles at its widest point, featuring coastal lines along Loch Eishart and the Sound of Sleat.
The region belonged to Inverness-shire until 1975 and contained multiple castles, including Dunskaich, Knock, and Castle of the Bay, residences of Sleat barons.
The peninsula maintains strong connections to Gaelic language, with 39 percent of residents speaking Gaelic according to the 2011 census records.
Travelers reach Sleat through the A851 road, which connects Armadale to other parts of Skye, with ferry services linking to mainland Scotland.
Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, Scotland's only Gaelic-medium college providing university education, operates as the largest employer in the peninsula.
