Scottish anchorages

I have put in relevant links on many of the pages, but here are some generic websites of interest:

There are other somewhat similar websites, but - be definition - not nearly so good! For example West Coast of Scotland Anchorages

West Coast Boating is a useful site with information about weather, tides, anchorages, chandleries and so on.

The Sail Scotland website is excellent - lots of really useful information

Visit Scotland now has a modestly useful website called Malin Waters, but maybe with not much more if any information than Sail Scoland.

The Association of Scottish Yacht Charterers does what it says on the tin.

The West Highland Anchorages and Moorings Association represents the interests of west coast boaties on matters affecting anchorages, moorings and other maritime issues. Useful general background information and news.

The National Trust for Scotland  and Historic Scotland properties near the anchorages are all described here, but their websites have more information

Undiscovered Scotland is a pretty good general site for almost everything of interest, there are many links to it on the anchorage pages.

Sea kayaking is getting more popular so have a look at some nice sea level photos on Scottish Sea Kayaking Photo Gallery.

For Argyll and around news and gossip, as well as the Oban Times, try forargyll.com

And a brilliant website for walks is WalkHighlands. Mind you, this is more for walkers than boaties but there are plenty of ideas there for a day ashore.

If you want to know if any of the anchorages have featured in a movie then - easy - go to Scotland the Movie Location Guide.

The Heritage Paths website has some interesting walks which are close enough to an anchorage to be doable, and these are mentioned on the relevant anchorage pages.

On some anchorage pages I have linked to The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS) although personally I do not find this an easy website to navigate
