Mugeary ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Mùigearraidh)) is a farm or croft and former settlement on the island of Skye, Scotland. Located south west of Portree is known as the location where the basaltic rock mugearite was first identified. The Gaelic name is derived from Old Norse and probably means "narrow field".〔Mac an Tàilleir (2003) p. 21〕 ==Location== Mugeary lies at above sea level on a west facing slope of the hill Stròc-bheinn, north of the Glenmore River. The Glenmore flows into the River Snizort, which passes the settlement of Carbost and joins the sea at the head of the innermost arm of Loch Snizort Beag. Although only south west of Portree, the island of Skye's main town, Mugeary is about double this distance away by road. There is a track across the ''Bealach Mòr'' (English: big pass) to the north of Stròc-bheinn which leads to the forestry plantation above the main A87 road south of Portree.〔 According to the Skye and Lochalsh Local Plan of 2007 the Glenmore valley has potential both for further afforestation and also wind power developments in the vicinity of Mugeary.〔Skye and Lochalsh Local Plan (2007) ("Chapter 9: Portree and Braes" ). (pdf) Highland Council. Retrieved 21 October 2012.〕 To the south the landscape is dominated by the forestry plantation of Glen Tungadal〔 through which flows the upper reaches of the River Snizort, providing beats for salmon and trout during the fishing season.〔("Skye:River Snizort" ).
