Map & Local

Port Appin is a picturesque fishing village set on a peaceful, secluded peninsula between Oban (20 miles), Ballachulish (18 miles), and Fort William (30 miles).

Just up the road, overlooking the bay, stands the iconic Castle Stalker. The Castle Stalker Visitor Centre is a great stop for coffee or a light lunch. Further along, you can visit the riding stables at Lettershuna before heading to Ballachulish, home to a scenic golf course.

Beyond Ballachulish, the dramatic landscapes of Glencoe (19 miles) await walkers and climbers. Fort William (30 miles) offers access to Ben Nevis, Britain’s tallest mountain, as well as Aonach Mor (38 miles), a hub for skiing in winter and mountain biking in summer. The town also boasts a variety of shops, cafés, restaurants, and a leisure centre. You can take a boat trip on Loch Linnhe to spot basking seals or board the Jacobite steam train for a scenic journey to Mallaig.

To the south, Oban (20 miles) offers a full range of amenities and serves as the gateway to the west coast islands. A right turn at Benderloch leads to the stunning sandy beach at Ardmucknish Bay, perfect for a seaside walk.

For adventure seekers, Kinlochleven (25 miles) is a favourite with climbers and winter sports enthusiasts. It is also home to The Ice Factor, offering indoor ice and rock climbing, as well as a children’s play area.

The cottage is within walking distance of two highly regarded dining establishments, Airds Hotel and The Pierhouse Restaurant. The village also has a small general store, post office, and a gallery gift shop.

A short stroll leads to the pier, where you can enjoy a delicious meal before catching the ferry to Lismore — bicycles welcome! This charming island is perfect for exploring, with a single-track road stretching from end to end.

Lismore is steeped in history and geology, with human habitation dating back to Neolithic times. A 3500 BC Appin stone arrowhead, discovered in 1974, is now displayed at the Heritage Centre. The island’s Broch at Tirfuir dates back 2,000 years to the time of the Picts, and a walk to Coeffin Castle reveals the site of a Viking prince’s stronghold.
