Loch Feochan

There really seems little particular to do or see around this Loch. Furthermore the main road between Oban and Lochgilphead runs along one shore which makes it noisy. But the entrance is quite fun, much easier since it has been buoyed. On the port side, just before the suddenly shallow bit, the single white cottage was used for the film of Ring of Bright water (the classic otter book by Gavin Maxwell). Ardoran Marine in Ardentallen Bay is a smallish boat yard and there are visitor moorings (ph 01631 566123). You can walk from here up to 'The Barn' which is a slightly eccentric pub with good food, and holiday chalets (at Cologin on the OS map) (ph 01631 564501).
