Near the serene Lochan Dubh nam Breac on the Isle of Skye, a phantom woman has been spotted by travellers. This ghostly figure, nicknamed Luideag or The Rag, would appear to passersby, yet remain eerily silent when approached. Her appearances were said to be fleeting, vanishing without a trace. The unsettling nature of these encounters has led to The Rag becoming a whispered legend among locals and visitors alike.

The haunting by The Rag dates back to the mid nineteenth century, a time of great change and movement in the Highlands. Interestingly, the ghostly apparitions ceased following the discovery of a man's body on the roadside where The Rag was typically seen. This intriguing connection has led some to speculate about the possible identity of the phantom woman and her link to the deceased man. While the truth remains a mystery, The Rag's legend continues to captivate those drawn to the paranormal history of the Isle of Skye.
