Ten miles along the "Road
to the Isles" in the opposite direction,
you will come to Glenfinnan, the place where
Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his standard
in 1745 at the start of the Jacobite rebellion.
The National
Trust Centre is well worth a visit, and
if you are feeling energetic you can climb
to the top of the Glenfinnan Monument, overlooking
beautiful Loch Shiel. Further on from Glenfinnan,
the road takes you through the villages of
Lochailort and Arisaig to Morar, where there
are some of the most beautiful beaches in
the country, known locally as the "Silver
Sands", before finally reaching the fishing
village of Mallaig, from where you can take
a ferry to the Isle of Skye and the smaller
Isles. |
