Since we are in this ballpark, here are some interesting statistics concerning the Isle of Skye, whose total population (along with Lochalsh) in the 2001 Census was just 12,136:

"During the years 1797-1837 this island alone contributed 21 lieutenant- or major-generals, 45 colonels, 600 commissioned officers, 120 pipers and 10,000 other ranks, in addition to those who served in the Royal Navy" (from "The Companion to Gaelic Scotland", Ed. Derick S. Thomson, 1983, p. 250)
