Poll an Dunain (Bishop's bay)

Just after the bridge, which is much newer than it looks having opened in 1975, this is a nice spot alright but there are quite a lot of private moorings and there is not a lot to do on the land. North Ballachulish is hardly an attractive village but there is not a bad art gallery in a small complex of craft enterprises just by the Loch Leven Hotel, towards the bridge link. It is called the F.W.Holroyd Art Gallery and although established for nearly 100 years, it has only been here since the early 2000s. (ph 01855 821 277). You can walk to the hotel along the foreshore. The attractive path starts by the small isthmus joining the islet of An Dunan in the SW corner of the bay to the mainland. The Loch Leven Hotel itself is prettily situated above the old ferry slipway, presumably it was much busier and touristic before the bridge was opened than it is now (ph 01855 821550). There are no special beers but you can eat looking out onto the water below.
