The Falls of Glomach (2) are reputed to be the highest falls in the country and can be accessed via Dorusduain (while the walk is moderate it is advisable to leave plenty of time as it is roughly 2.5 miles uphill). Conveniently situated by the Glen Shiel road is the Jac-O-Bite Restaurant (3) – don't let the exterior fool you, the restaurant may have the appearance of a road-side diner but has attracted excellent reviews. Also nearby Shiel Bridge is Glenshiel Ponytracking (4) (suitable for children aged 6 and above). Day trips around & about Lochcarron There are also several sights to see on the road over to Glenelg. The Bernera Barracks (1) are a relic of the Hanoverian period dating back to around 1717; one of four barracks constructed in the Highlands following the initial Jacobite risings. Glen Shiel is also the location of one of the major battles of the 1719 Jacobite uprising and in the aftermath of the '45 uprising Charles Stewart (a.k.a. Bonnie Prince Charlie) spent part of the summer hiding in the Glen.
