Loch Eilt Cottage
On the Road to the Isles you should never feel far from water. Having travelled along the shores of the beautiful Loch Eil, and been awed by the mountains towering down the reaches of Loch Shiel, you will come to Loch Ailort which cuts its way in from the Ardnamurchan peninsula. The loch is one of the many sea-lochs that stretch in from the Hebrides - clean and sheltered waters where Scottish fish farming was pioneered. From here, the side road leads west and south to the tiny but lively village of Glenuig. The road north offers tantalising glimpses of distant scenery and at Polnish it passes the old white church which was used in the film 'Local Hero'. This is the halfway point on the Road to the Isles. The church was built with a donation from the Cameron-Heads on the condition that the church could been seen from their home, Inverailort Castle, an imposing building at Lochailort.
