Ardnamurchan south-west of Fort William is a land of true enchantment. Magnificent scenery warmed by the Gulf Stream and sheltered by the islands of The Inner Hebrides stretches westwards from Salen on Loch Sunart to the Ardnamurchan Lighthouse, the most westerly point on mainland Scotland.It is a sanctuary for a rare fauna which thrives in the remoteness of this spectacular peninsula.
In tiny Salen (yacht haven, pub, hotel) at the head of beautiful Glen Borrodale, 2 miles below Acharacle (shops) you will find very comfortable accommodation in the self-contained top-half of Tarbert Cottage which stands detached in a pretty garden overlooking Loch Sunart and the Morvern Hills. The cottage has its own entrance and the owners live below. The accommodation is beautifully presented with an excellent dining kitchen and two good bedrooms. A particular feature, however, is the bright and delightful sitting room, with its sloping ceilings and large Velux windows, which afford magnificent views of the loch.
From here you can drive to Ardnamurchan Point and the famous island-fringed white sands of Sanna, visit the Natural History Centre at Glenmore or the Illegal Museum of Poaching and Distilling, walk silver sands smoothed by a clear emerald sea at Kilmory or the Singing Sands of Kentra, fish on Loch Shiel or Loch Sunart etc., etc.
The car-ferry from Kilchoan (18m.) across to Tobermory on Mull (35 minutes) lets you visit Iona and Staffa with its famous Fingal's Cave/colonies of puffins and via The Road to the Isles, you can take a ferry trip to Skye from Mallaig.
