Kilchoan

Kilchoan is the most westerly village in mainland Great Britain. Until about 1900 it was accessible only by sea. Then a road was built to link Ardnamurchan with the the rest of Scotland at Salen, 23 miles to the east. Kilchoan itself is the largest settlement in western Ardnamurchan. With a population of around 150 it straggles along the main road and around Kilchoan Bay under the shadow of Beinn na Seig to the west. Kilchoan itself is the point of focus for the whole of western Ardnamurchan. From here roads take you the remaining half-dozen miles west to Ardnamurchan Point, Great Britain's most westerly mainland point, complete with its lighthouse and visitor centre. Another road leads north west across the extinct volcanic crater at Achnaha to the stunning beaches at Sanna
