Mallaig tourist information

Mallaig is often approached from the direction of Fort William, and this journey, either by road or rail, is one of its great attractions.

Taking in some truly fantastic scenery of mountains, valley and sea, this is known as the 'Road to the Isles'. By train, you will also have the chance to cross the stunning Glenfinnan viaduct, on a line voted one of the greatest railway journeys in the world

Mallaig is a pretty place to visit, and still a working fishing harbour. Its history and livelihood are tied to the sea, and it is the main ferry terminus for those travelling by boat to the Islands of Skye, Rum, Eigg and Muck. You can also catch a boat to Inverie, the largest settlement in mainland Britain not connected to the road network.

The local tourist information centre is on the pier.

Back along the road to the south from Arisaig to Morar are the Silver Sands of Morar, fantastic white sandy beaches with beautiful views over bright blue seas to the Small Isles and Isle of Skye.
