Eilean Munde

This is one absolute must, not that there is a safe overnight anchorage, but a stop is essential. The name comes from St Mundus, an Irish disciple of St Columba. Talk about atmospheric, and photogenic. This little island is not just a wonderful place to view Loch Leven from, with beautiful broad leaf and pine trees. It has tombs, lots of tombs, being the traditional burial place for the people of Glencoe. They lie scattered all around, mostly from the nineteenth century up to about the 1970s. Many stones are upright and easy to read, some have fallen down, and others are slabs in the ground. There is a 16th century ruined chapel too, abandoned in 1653. Just sit amongst the wild flowers and breathe in the scene. Curiously this place is not mentioned in 'Pevsner', maybe because it is just too difficult to get to without your own boat.
