There are a number of islands in the loch including Inishail, which is the burial island of the Dukes of Argyll. There are two notable hotels on the lochside, within about 10 miles of Fanamor – The Taychreggan and Ardanaiseig, both of which cater for the upper end of the market and have excellent restaurants. Argyll offers a full range of outdoor activities. There is spectacular hill walking, climbing and mountaineering in the area with skiing at Aonach Mhor (near Fort William) and at Glen Coe.
