Loch nan Ceall
Loch nan Ceall is a sheltered sea loch tucked into the wild West Highlands, sitting about 6 miles southwest of Mallaig and forming a popular anchorage at the heart of the Arisaig district. You drop the hook here surrounded by some of the most dramatic Highland and island scenery in Scotland, with views stretching out toward the Small Isles. The nearby village of Arisaig is within easy reach and gives you access to coastal walks, including the well-rated Rhu Point Beach trail.
