Ardnamurchan and Strontian


Ardnamurchan

The stunning Ardnamurchan peninsula is the most westerly part of the British mainland and is quite literally the end of the road. This is a beautiful but unforgiving and remote corner of Scotland, with amazing seascapes at every turn. The harsh landscape is releived by a whole series of superb sandy beaches.

The name Ardnamurchan these days is often taken to include the neighbouring districts of Morvern, Ardgour, Moidart and Sunart, all a world away from the busy land across the Corran Ferry. The village of Strotian is the main centre on the fringe of the fabulous Atlantic oakwoods, sometimes referred to as Scotland's rainforest.
