Rubha Mhic Artair / Farquhar's Point

Headland at the mouth of Loch Moidart with Eilean Raonuill and Eilean Shona beyond. The north side of Carn Mòr is well wooded and very rugged.

Looking north across the South Channel of Loch Moidart to Eilean Shona. This wild headland north of Ardtoe seems to be rarely visited by land, although the channel is a regular resting place for yachts.

Skerries in the South Channel, Loch Moidart

At low tide the narrow channel seems to become much narrower at its mouth, where it meets the Sound of Arisaig. Good charts are as essential for the yachtsman as a good map is for the walker. And I lost my OS 1:25000 somewhere in this grid square!

Rock formation

All of Ardnamurchan is a paradise for geologists. The forces that went into making this little outcrop can only be guessed at (or explained in detail by a geologist!)

Lotos - former Norwegian Herring Lugger

Under engine in the South Channel, the Lotos was built in 1910 as a herring fisher, but after the 30s spent the next 50 years as a freighter. What did we do before Google?
