Your attention is drawn to the Important Notice on the last page of the text. Situation Scallasaig is situated towards the bottom end of Glen More, about 1.5 miles east of the village of Glenelg on the west coast of the Scottish mainland, opposite the Isle of Skye. It is a most beautiful location with green fields, ancient woodland, views of dramatic hill tops and bounded by the Glenmore River which flows gently by. The sides of the glen are steep in places with dramatic corries and hill tops making way to plains of open moorland and heather slopes. Glenelg is one of the prettiest coastal villages on the western seaboard, with a population of around 90 inhabitants supplemented in summer by eager holiday makers taking advantage of the many gorgeous beaches and sheltered coves or taking the privately operated ferry across to Skye. Nearby is Sandaig where Gavin Maxwell wrote his classic story of Edal the otter, in Ring of Bright Water. The village has an excellent local shop, a primary school, village hall, medical centre and post office but is perhaps best known for the Glenelg Inn which is a magnet for locals and visitors throughout the year. Kyle of Lochalsh is about 25 miles away where there is a full range of shops and a supermarket.

Follow the road down into Glen More with The Sound of Sleet at the end. As the glen flattens out and about 1.5 miles before reaching Glenelg, turn left over the bridge crossing the Glenmore River and the gates into Scallasaig Lodge are on the right hand side.

  • Kinlochhourne -Knoydart – Morar Wild Land Area
    Description of Wild Land Area – 2017 18 Kinlochhourne -Knoydart – Morar Wild Land Area 1 Description of Wild Land Area – 2017 Context This very large area, extending 1065 km2 across Lochalsh and Lochaber, is the fourth most extensive WLA and only narrowly separated from the second largest, Central Highlands (WLA 24). It runs from Glen Shiel in the north and includes a large proportion of the Knoydart peninsula and the hills between Lochs Quoich, Arkaig and Eil and Eilt, and around the eastern part of Loch Morar. Major routes flank its far northern and southern edges, the latter to nearby Fort William, but it is otherwise distant from large population centres. It is one of only three mainland WLAs to be defined in part by the coast, on its western edge. The area contains in the north and west high, angular and rocky mountains with sweeping slopes towering over a series of steep sided glens and lochs, which extend into a more jumbled mass of rugged mountains within the central interior, with linear ranges of simpler massive hills in the east. These are formed of hard metamorphic rock that was carved during glaciation, creating features such as pyramidal peaks, corries, U-shaped glens, moraine and the remarkable fjords of Lochs Hourn and Nevis. Later erosion is also evident with the presence of burns, gorges, waterfalls and alluvial deposits. The distinctive landform features are highlighted against the open space and horizontal emphasis of adjacent sea and lochs. The WLA is largely uninhabited, apart from a few isolated crofts and estate settlements around the coast and loch shores.
