Totaig is a small crofting settlement within Glendale on the west coast of Loch Dunvegan on the Isle of Skye. At the heart of Glendale is the post office and village shop, together with a community centre. The small town of Dunvegan is around 5 miles south east. It is famous for the Dunvegan Castle, seat of the chief of Clan MacLeod. Dunvegan has many local facilities including a post office, bakery, two general stores, one filling station, a garage, four hotels, a gun shop, a fishing store and a fruit and vegetable shop. The Old School Restaurant in the village is noted for its fish, caught freshly from the loch itself.

Glendale is an 18,956 acre estate that extends from Neist Point in the West, to Loch Pooltiel in the North, to Loch Dunvegan in the East. To the south it covers vast areas of moorland, skirting the slopes on MacLeod's Tables and extending almost down to MacLeod's Maidens at Idrigill.

The steep cliffs of Glendale are home to thousands of sea birds and both White-Tailed and Golden Eagles nest in this area and are quite a common sight. This is undoubtedly the best place on Skye for seeing Whales, dolphins, porpoises and basking shark. Dolphins are often seen just outside Skye's finest restaurant, the Michelin Starred Three Chimneys, which is amongst the top 100 in the UK, it is found at Colbost, one of Glendale's easternmost townships.
