The settlements within the township include Balmacqueen (Gaelic: Macqueen's Place), Kendram (Gaelic: Head of the Ridge), Connista[2] (Norse: High Farm), Aird (Gaelic: Point or Promontory) and Solitote (Gaelic: Ruin Hill).

The Kilmaluag also gives its name to a Jurassic geological formation, the Kilmaluag Formation. This limestone and sandstone formation is Bathonian in age, and outcrops in the harbour of the village and in several other locations on Skye.
