Location
Ardnamurchan's southern coastline follows the shores of Loch Sunart which marks the most westerly tip of the Scottish mainland. The shores of Loch Sunart are a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest and the ancient Sunart Oakwoods around Salen are home to a wide range of flora and fauna. There are also many sites of geological and historic interest throughout the area.
There are wonderful hill and forestry walks nearby. Take a trip out whale watching and keep an eye out for eagles, otters, pine martens and wildcats. For fisherman, there is both sea and loch fishing and boats can be hired locally. If you choose to bring your own boat, parking is available on site and launching facilities and red diesel are available opposite at Salen jetty.
The Salen Hotel is a 15 minute walk away and provides a warm and welcoming bar and good local food - with local musicians often playing on a Wednesday night.
There are local provision stores in Acharacle, Strontian and Kilchoan. Fuel is available at the Post Office stores in Strontian and at the Ferry Stores in Kilchoan. Visit the local art gallery at Resipole, and discover the range of talented craft folk living and working in the area.
