The village of Lochaline lies at the southern tip of the beautiful Morvern peninsula, one of the more remote parts of North West Scotland. It is renowned for the variety of birdlife, flora and wildlife. There is a well-stocked licensed village store with a post office, petrol pumps and laundrette. There are two excellent restaurants - Lochaline Hotel and The Whitehouse, both of which are licensed. There is also a snack bar at the pier with a good variety of carryout meals. All facilities are within walking distance. Activities in Lochaline include fly fishing for salmon, trout and sea trout. You can, of course, fish off the pier or the rocks.
Visitors may be interested in visiting the Carved Stones of Keil. Keil Church stands high above the Sound of Mull, just one mile west of Lochaline. Although the present building is just over 100 years old, tradition has it that there has been a church somewhere on the site since the time of Saint Columba in the 6th Century. A ferry operates regularly over to Fishnish on the island of Mull.
