Kilmaluag (Scottish Gaelic: Cill Moluaig, meaning St. Moluag's Cell, Church or Chapel) is a township made up of several small settlements on the most northerly point of the Trotternish peninsula of the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Kilmaluag is within the parish of Kilmuir.[1]
The settlements within the township include Balmacqueen (Gaelic: Macqueen's Place), Kendram (Gaelic: Head of the Ridge), Connista[2] (Norse: High Farm), Aird (Gaelic: Point or Promontory) and Solitote (Gaelic: Ruin Hill).
The Kilmaluag also gives its name to a Jurassic geological formation, the Kilmaluag Formation. This limestone and sandstone formation is Bathonian in age, and outcrops in the harbour of the village and in several other locations on Skye.
