Glendale, a vale in Duirinish parish, Isle of Skye, Inverness-shire, extending 5 miles north-north-westward from Macleod's Tables to the head of salt-water Loch Pooltiel. Its bottom is 4 to 6 furlongs broad; its sloping sides are covered with very rich pasture; and it contains a post office under Portree, and a modern mansion, Glendale, the seat of the late Right Hon. Sir John Macpherson Macleod (1792-1881), of Indian celebrity, who owned 35, 022 acres in Inverness-shire, valued at £1258 per annum. The Glendale estate figured somewhat largely in the crofters' agitation of 1881-82.
