The Road to the Isles

Mallaig

Mallaig harbour

At the end of the mainland road and the West Highland Railway Line lies Mallaig, just over an hour from Fort William.
A full range of accommodation, banks, supermarkets, swimming pool, post office and Tourist Information Centre makes this area a good place to stay for a while or discover new places to visit.

The ferries come and go to Armadale on Skye, Uist (proposed) and the Small Isles of Eigg, Muck, Rum and Canna.

If you only have a day to spare and want to visit the Isle of Skye, Peter MacDonald can take you on a Luxury Guided Tour.

Regular trips in these waters are operated during the summer by Bruce Watt whose boat takes the mail to Loch Nevis all year round, so relax for a day on the ocean wave and you may spot a whale or two.

Fishing boats in the harbour In the busy bay you are likely to see many fishing boats and sometimes the local lifeboat.
To learn of the centuries of struggle to scrape a living from the land and the sea, and the local population's arrival to found this thriving fishing port - visit the Mallaig Heritage Centre.
Fresh fish and the famous Mallaig kippers are available in local hotels, restaurants and in the fish shops. By the harbour, Fish Merchant Andy Race has a shop and also offers a mail order service selling a variety of freshly caught seafood. octopus
