Ach na skia is a small croft situated about a mile north of the village of Arisaig, where the road sweeps down towards the sea with spectacular and constantly changing views of the islands of Eigg, Rum and Skye and the sandy beaches that fringe the old coast road to Morar.
We are perfectly placed to catch the spectacular sunsets. Surrounding the croft are fields with horses, sheep and cattle, including Highland cattle and ponies, and to the rear looms the rocky outcrop of Creag Mhor.
The local golf course is 1.5 miles away, Arisaig railway station 1.4 miles, bar and restaurant just 200 metres away. There are grocery shops and other facilities in Arisaig and Mallaig (7 miles away).
