Cubaig is a picturesque coastal feature located in Argyllshire, Scotland. Situated on the western coast of the Ardnamurchan Peninsula, it is a prominent headland that juts out into the North Atlantic Ocean. With its rugged cliffs, stunning views, and rich natural beauty, Cubaig is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers.

The headland offers an incredible vantage point to admire the surrounding landscape. From here, visitors can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean, neighboring islands, and the distant mountains of the Scottish Highlands. The dramatic cliffs of Cubaig are a haven for birdwatchers, as they provide nesting sites for various seabird species, including gannets and puffins.

The area surrounding Cubaig is characterized by its wild and unspoiled beauty. Lush heather-covered moorlands stretch out towards the horizon, interrupted only by the occasional freshwater loch or cascading waterfall. The headland itself is covered in rugged grasses and mosses, adding to its untamed charm.

Access to Cubaig is primarily by foot, as there are no roads leading directly to the headland. A scenic hiking trail winds its way along the coastline, offering visitors the opportunity to explore the area at their own pace. The trail passes through a diverse range of ecosystems, from sandy beaches and hidden coves to rocky cliffs and sea caves.

For those seeking a peaceful retreat amidst nature's beauty, Cubaig in Argyllshire is a must-visit destination. Its pristine landscapes, abundant wildlife, and awe-inspiring views make it an unforgettable experience for any nature lover.

Eilean nan Ron The 'island of the seals' is aptly named, being alive with them. At low tide in calm weather it is possible to bring a boat in, but normally the sea is quite rough. Looking NW.
