Ardnish Coastal Scenery

Lovely coastal scenery on the Ardnish peninsula near Laggan. Great for a potter about and beachcoming on a warm spring day.

Digital Detox

Laggan cottage on the Ardnish peninsula, available for weekly rent from the estate, and described as 'one of the most remote/best off-grid holiday or digital detox cottages in the UK'. Certainly it is stunning scenery around and the cottage is only accessible really by boat - it is a hard walk otherwise. Details:- Link

Bothy Life

Some of the many artefacts inside the bothy of Peanmeanach, now a private bothy run by the estate on the Ardnish peninsula. The guitar certainly came in handy later on after a few drams!

Peanmeanach Panorama

Above the little bay at the former settlement of Peanmeanach looking west from a small hill at the east of the bay. You can just see the bothy at right of picture, while Eigg can be seen to the left. The clouds at left are actually smoke from wildfires which raged for 2 days above the settlement of Glenuig.

Peanmeanach Bothy

Formerly an MBA bothy which was getting heavily overused - and abused - is now locked but bookable for parties of up to 6 - it was originally the schoolmistress’ house - though the school was around the bay at Glasnacardoch:- Link

Just behind the bothy can be seen the fine peak of Rois Bheinn - a Corbett.

Ruins of Peanmeanach

One of the abandoned houses at Peanmeanach on the Ardnish peninsula with one of the low hills seen through the still intact doorway. It is thought Peanmeanach was finally abandoned in the 1930's
