Gualachaolish Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
Drop anchor at the entrance to Loch Spelve on the Isle of Mull, with sweeping views across the Firth of Lorne toward Seil. The setting is quietly dramatic — a ruined croft at Gualachaolish (meaning 'Hill Shoulder at the Strait') sits above the shoreline, and a rough path leads up to the ruins and a nearby historic graveyard worth exploring. This is a wild, uncommercial stop with no facilities, just raw Scottish scenery and real solitude.
