About LochalineThe village of Lochaline lies at the southern tip of the beautiful Morvern peninsular, one of the more remote parts of North West Scotland. It is renowned for the variety of bird life, flora and wildlife. Close by is the well stocked licensed village store with post office, petrol pumps and laundrette. There are two excellent restaurants - Lochaline Hotel and The Whitehouse, both of which are licensed. There is also a snack bar at the pier with a good variety of carry out meals. All facilities are within walking distance. Activities in Lochaline include canoe hire, mountain bike hire as well as fly fishing for salmon, trout and sea trout. You can, of course, fish off the pier or off the rocks. |

Visitors may be interested in visiting the Carved Stones of Keil. Keil Church stand high above the Sound of Mull, just one mile West of Lochaline. Although the present building is just over 100 years old, tradition has it that there has been a church somewhere on the site since the time of Saint Columbus in the 6th century.
A ferry operates regularly over to Fishnish on the island of Mull. Take a day out to tour the island or visit the isle of Iona with its historic Abbey, or visit the unique town of Tobermory. Perhaps you would like to go to one of the most perfect stone circles in Britain at Loch Buie , see round Duart Castle (stronghold of Clan MacLean), or climb the cliffs at Carsaig. Mull boasts some amazing beaches with long stretches of pure white sand. Boat trips are available from Mull to the island of Staffa with its unique formation of rocks - a nesting place for puffins.
Travelling north from Morvern brings you to the lovely unspoilt Ardnamurchan peninsular, the most westerly point on the British mainland. Again, there are several spectacular beaches of pure white sand around this point. A ferry goes from Kilchoan to Tobermory, making it possible to take a long round trip here, via the Isle of Mull and back to Lochaline. There is also a ferry for foot passengers from Drimnin (11 miles drive from Lochaline) to Tobermory on Mondays and Fridays. Booking is advised. You can visit the natural history exhibition or the RSPB reserve at Glenborrodale, or ascend the famous monument at the end of Loch Shiel where Bonnie Prince Charlie landed and raised the Jacobite Clans in 1745 at Glenfinnan.
Travel north and westward, across the Corran Ferry and you are within easy reach of both Oban and Fort William. Try a trek up Ben Nevis, a ride in Scotland's only Gondola nearby, or a trip on the Jacobite steam train along the route of the Road to the Isles to Mallaig. You might also like to visit the seal rescue sanctuary near Oban, or just soak up the beauty of the scenery.
