What’s in a name?
Sál Sauna - Firstly pronunciation, well it’s simply like the ‘a’ in apple.
The west side of Sleat has lots of evidence of Viking heritage, whether that is in place names, legends or artefacts that have been recovered. We also have a thriving Gàidhlig heritage in our language and traditions.
It only felt right to combine these two to create a brand name that reflected our combined history.
Salt and soul are two words that embody the elements of the sauna ritual that are special to me. Sál is an old norse word for soul, and Sàl is the Gàidhlig word for saltwater.
If you look closely you will see that our logo reflects both … ensuring I’ll never spell it wrong ;)
