Sgamadail Glen falling from Beinn na Caillich to the north shore of Knoydart. Accessed by boat from Arnisdale. The course of the burn is well wooded, steep sides of the watercourse providing shelter from grazing deer.

Loch Hourn from Sgamadail Looking down Sgamadail to Loch Hourn. The alluvial fan at the mouth of the burn can be seen. This would once have been farmed.

Standing stone, Li This field of bluebells runs down to the shore of Loch Hourn with a view of Beinn Sgritheall and Arnisdale, and passing boats. Someone has decided to put up a large stone slab as a standing stone. It is not listed in the database of the Royal Commission on Ancient and Historic Monuments for Scotland, so it can be safely assumed to be recent.
