Beach of Loch Hourn beside Fraoch Eilean

Fraoch Eilean is a tiny island on the south side of Loch Hourn; it's out of view to the right. Ladhar Bheinn is the incomparable mountain beyond!

Isthmus at Fraoch Eilean

Fraoch Eilean is across the isthmus where there's the boathouse. The boat on the water to the right of the beach was manned by David Mackenzie, a keeper or ghillie at Barrisdale. He was to carry out passengers - some can be seen - to Kinloch Hourn.

Eilean Mhogh-sgeir

The eastern side of this Loch Hourn islet lies in this grid square. A boat is useful!

Glen Breaden

Eilean Mhogh-sgeir

This islet is covered by trees and makes an ideal habitat for a heronry. In the centre of the photo by the dead branch a heron was observed sitting on its nest.

Caolasmor Cottage

A rather remote spot on the north bank of inner Loch Hourn. There is no sign of a path so approach is dependent on boat travel.

Track from Barrisdale to Kinlochhourn

The first part of a bit of a trek back from the Barrisdale area along the southern shore of Loch Hourn. The ruin on the left is not, as it first appears, a former croft house, but is mapped in the 1870s as a Quoad Sacra church - the expression essentially means it belonged to a parish with ecclesiastical function, but no civil government operation. This one is recorded by Canmore, the Scottish National Records of Historic Environment service, at Link

Stalkers' track above Loch Hourn

This section is well drained and stony. Not so all the way back to Kinlochhourn, much of which is rather less attractive as a bike ride.

Richard Law

Stalkers' path above Loch Hourn

One of the boggier sections of the path; this length would be a bit of a thankless struggle on a bike, especially uphill.

Footbridge over the Allt a' Chaolas Bhig

The bridge referred to in NG8806 : Allt a' Chaolas Bhig. On the occasion of our visit, the water was low and slow, making it easy to refill a drink bottle.
