Said by many to be the most beautiful loch in Scotland.

Loch Naver 3pm. on a winters evening as the night mist comes down.
Looking southwest towards Altnaharra
|
Loch Ewe, Isle of Ewe on the left Ruhba Mor peninsula on the right. A
USA coastguard ship in for refuelling at the NATO base. I caught my
biggest ever fish off the Isle of Ewe an 11ft. conger eel
|
Loch Quoich Sgurr Mor 1012 metres (3290 ft) with Sgurr na Ciche 1049
metres (3410 ft) and Ben Aiden in the distance. Well worth the drive from
Glen Garry.
|
Loch Hourn The narrows of Caolas Mor through which is the main body
of Loch Hourn, about 5 miles further on is the Sound of Sleat.
|
Kinlochourn on Loch Beag, the road you see is from Loch Quoich with a lots
of twists and ups and downs and the same width with a distinct shortage of
passing places ! It could accurately be described as hair-raising.
|
To get to Glenelg you must go over the Mam Rattanach a long steep climb, but rest
halfway and take in Loch Duich and the Five Sisters of Kintail. Just before
Glenelg you can detour to visit the Dun Telve and Dun Troddan brochs, the best
preserved in Scotland, or through the village to Arnisdale and Corran on Loch Hourn.

Strictly speaking this is not Dunstaffnage Bay, that ones full of yachts,
motorboats etc. This is round the back of the castle the yacht has just
left the bay, it's very peaceful and just so restful.
