Local Area
| The village of Morar is located 3 miles from
the fishing port of Mallaig and 5 miles from Arisaig and
enjoys breathtaking views to the islands of Eigg and Rum.
Nearby are the famous Silver Sands beaches at
Camusdarach, where the film 'Local Hero' was made. Morar is home to Britain's deepest freshwater loch, from which flows Britain's shortest river - only 500 yards or so to the sea. Rumours abound of a cousin to Nessie lurking beneath its depths and Morar's own monster is affectionately referred to as Morag. |
