Mallaig

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.

In the busy bay you are likely to see many fishing boats and sometimes the local lifeboat. The CalMac ferries come and go to Armadale on Skye, as well as the Small Isles of Eigg, Muck, Rum and Canna. In the summer months, day cruise packages are available (view PDF brochure & timetables).

The local ferry service to Knoydart operates all year round, so relax for a day trip on the ocean wave and you may spot a whale or two. Boats are operated by Bruce Watt and Knoydart Seabridge.

Mallaig station is the terminus for the Jacobite Steam Train which operates during the summer to/from Fort William. Recognised as one of the great railway journeys of the world, the West Highland Line passes through beautiful scenery.

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.
