Scottish anchorages

Upper Loch Linnhe

The pub - the Ardgour Inn – seems a bit of a disappointment to me, no draught beer and somehow just a bit dull but it is certainly handy for the anchorage. I have not tried the pub grub, or the restaurant (ph 01855 841225). But you can sit outside - or in - having a drink while the children play on a very sandcastle sort of a little beach, adjacent to the ferry slipway. And take a walk round the foreshore to the Corran Point light house – a Stevenson again, built in 1860, with a lovely two storied Keepers’ house with an external stair. A most satisfactory ensemble, enhanced by the backdrop of upper Loch Linnhe in one direction and Lower Loch Linnhe in the other. But not by the noise of the main road down the east side of the loch.

The Corran ferry is constantly on the go but is not a problem, in fact it is a charming addition to the general atmosphere. No one seems to have suggested a bridge which would ruin the whole place - but no doubt help regenerate Morvern, Ardgour and Ardnamurchan.
