Activities

For all its remoteness, there is no shortage of activities and things to do on Knoydart.
The Knoydart Peninsula is renowned for its walking trails. People come from all over the world to experience the wilderness firsthand, and because Knoydart is only accessible by boat or foot, the trails traverse spectacular glens. Many of our guests come to climb the four famous Munros (mountains over 3000 feet). |

| Stalking and hunting of red deer can be arranged with a professional deerstalker with over 20 years of experience in the field. Your days will be spent on some of the wildest and most beautiful hills in Scotland. |  |
Fishing is available on the nearby Inverie River and from Kilchoan Estate Lochs. Day permits must be purchased.
