Caladh Harbour

✨ Hidden gem

Caladh Harbour is widely considered the finest anchorage on the Clyde Estuary — a natural harbour tucked behind a lovely island that delivers exceptional shelter in almost any conditions. It's the kind of place you drop the hook and immediately feel like you've found a secret. Anchor in 6–8m, clear of the slip and moorings to the west of the main house at the north-western end of the island.
