Shieldaig, Ross & Cromarty

Shieldaig is a village in the northwest Highlands of Scotland. 

The village was founded in the late 18th century with a view to training up seamen in anticipation of the Napoleonic Wars, but after Napoleon's defeat and exile to Elba, the community found itself a new role as a fishing village.
