Kylesmorar

Two small white cottages stand on this remote shoreline beneath beetling crags, with a lively burn cascading down the hillside. Taken from the MV Western Isles as it approached Tarbet.

Gordon Hatton

Kylesknoydart

Remote cottages on the north side of the narrows between inner and outer Loch Nevis. As with other places, such as Kyle of Lochalsh, the name describes a narrow strait.

Fancy residence at Tarbet

Not quite what one would expect in such a remote location. Access presumably by boat or via a path.

Kylesmorar, Loch Nevis

Pretty little settlement which has been given some TLC. There is a holiday home - maybe two. The former school is the building on the right. Also a family of happy free ranging pigs. It is a delightful spot.

Grazing Land

West of Kylesknoydart and south of the Allt an Eachdarra is an unusual low lying corner. It must have been well prized and envied at the beginning of last century when this area was populated.

Loch Nevis: Kylesknoydart

A house on the northern edge of Loch Nevis, at a point where the Loch narrows somewhat. This is one of the most remote houses in Britain, with no road access whatsoever, it would appear.
