'Loch Finlaggan is a place of great importance in Scottish history. The islands close to the north shore of the loch – Eilean Mor and Eilean Na Comhairle – a prehistoric crannog (where the council was held concerning the government of the lordship) contain the remains of buildings. Here the installation of the Lords of the Isles took place. The MacDonald Lords of the Isles were descended from Somerled, a twelth-century prince. Islay is often referred to as the cradle of Clan Donald. The Lords of the Isles ruled the islands and part of the west coast from Kintyre to Lewis including strong links with Ireland and the Isle of Man – virtually independent of royal control. The Lord of the Isles (Rí Innse Gall) was heir to a strong Gaelic and Norse tradition – one of the most powerful figures in the country with these small islands in Loch Finlaggan a centre of symbolic and administrative importance – land charters and legal judgements were issued from here. The island (Eilean Mor) is now approached on stilted wooden board walkways through the reeds.'
