북서부 고원‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

As you get close to Suilven you wonder how yuo are going to get up there - but there is a steep path that takes you to the lowest point in the ridge.

Kinloch Hourn is the end of the road, beyond here to the west beckon the wilds of Knoydart. You'll find a car park and B&B accommodation here. The undulating path along the southern shore of Loch Hourn leads to one of Scotland's greatest Munros: Ladhar Bheinn. This path also features on the Cape Wrath Trail.

Loch Allt an Daraich is a small mountain loch at an altitude of approximately 518 meters in the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve. It lies along the descent of the Beinn Eighe Mountain Trail and provides a visual respite after reaching the summit. The loch has an irregular shoreline of approximately 550 meters and is relatively shallow. Its location in an open quartzite plateau offers a serene atmosphere and a chance to cool off on hot days. The loch marks the start of the final section of the trail.

A 19th century shooting lodge and boathouse on the Corrimony estate. When it was built, the level of the loch was higher, at least up to the level of the ground floor, which was the boathouse section. The two upper floors were the accommodation. There is possibly another boathouse ruin where the original shore of the loch was, plus the remains of a causeway for access to what was an island. The level of the loch was lowered when the Glenmoriston hydro scheme was built in the 1950s.

Worth it for the excellent views

This highlight should be named Loch Allt an Daraich NOT Loch Maree. The latter can be seen from here but is the much larger loch lower down.

Well worth a visit to this iconic spot, though it can be very busy with 'train spotters'

The loch sheil track is wide and was well surfaced when we visited. Suits gravel, hybrid or mountain bike best. A wee bit lumpy in places, but well worth the wilderness feel of this spectacular loch. The bridge to Glenfinnan viaduct viewing area was closed during our visit. Its a short ride from the main bridge if Glenfinnan is on your list, or just turn towards Glensheil and skip the very busy car park with its train spotters
