The Lochaber region of the Scottish Highlands is situated on the West Coast close to the Small Isles and the Isle of Skye. An area of superlatives, it boasts:
· The highest mountain - Ben Nevis
· The most dramatic glen - Glen Coe
· The wildest peninsula – Knoydart
· The westernmost point of mainland Britain - Ardnamurchan Point
· The deepest inland water - Loch Morar
· 100s of offshore islands - The Small Isles
At its hub is the town of Fort William, gateway to the “Road to the Isles” and the many unspoilt and wild mountains, lochs and sandy beaches around Arisaig and Morar. Nevis Range, near Fort William, attracts walkers, climbers, cyclists and skiers alike. A gondola carries you up the mountain, from the top of which you can cycle down the World Cup mountain bike track or ski in winter. If it’s wildlife you enjoy, it is here in abundance. A boat trip may thrill with sightings of seals, minke whale, dolphins, porpoises or even basking shark, as well as shearwaters, gannets, fulmar auks, sea eagles, while on land you may spot otter, red deer, pine marten, and much more.
Ach na skia Croft at Arisaig is perfectly placed to discover this special area. With views across the sea to the islands of Eigg, Rum and Skye, self catering here offers the opportunity to relax or wind up a gear and make the most of the outdoors as you choose.
