Line 32: '''Glensanda''' (Old Norse, the glen of the sandy river) was a [[Viking]] settlement at the mouth of Glen Sanda{{r\|RCAHMS}} on the [[Morvern\|Morvern peninsula]] within south west [[Lochaber]], overlooking the [[Lismore, Scotland\|Isle of Lismore]] and [[Loch Linnhe]] in the western [[Highland Council\|Highlands]] of [[Scotland]]. Glensanda Castle (''Caisteal Na Gruagaich (Maiden's Castle)'';{{r\|RCAHMS}} overlooks the mouth of the Glensanda River which tumbles down 400 metres along its 5 mile ~~journey~~course from 'Caol Bheinn' into Loch Linnhe. The castle was the main base of the [[Clan Maclean\|Macleans]] of Kingairloch (Kingerloch) since the 15th century, but the population fell from 500 to zero after 1812 when they emigrated to [[Pictou, Nova Scotia\|Pictou]], [[Nova Scotia]].{{r\|Indy}}{{r\|CamUni}}{{r\|MacHist}} The remoteness of the Glensanda settlement is such that there are no road, rail, or marked footway links across the [[granite]] mountain, moor, heather and [[peat bog]] of the private Glensanda estate. The only practical access is by boat from the shores of Loch Linnhe.
