Although this bay is, by Hebridean standards, a bit industrial with some sort of operation down by the shore (wave turbines I am told), and by the main(ish) road, there is one thing to see if it is still a going concern — the privately-owned Ardnamurchan Natural History Visitor Centre (from the pontoon, up the hill, turn left at the main road, 10 minutes). The fixed CCTV cameras are particularly good, one is under water in the local burn to see trout, but may now be out of action. And there is an underwater view of a pond too. The audiovisual show of Ardnamurchan uses Michael MacGregor's photographs to good effect and the music is nice, but there seemed to be dirt on the screen when I was last there. In fact it is all looking a bit tired.  However, it was taken over by new owners in 2016 and I am told things are looking up and may not be now quite as I have described them. But wait, for sale again in 2024. No idea what is happening now in 2026.
