Mallaig guide

Mallaig is a port in Lochaber, on the west coast of the Highlands of Scotland. The local railway station, Mallaig, is the terminus of the West Highland railway line (Fort William & Mallaig branch), completed in 1901, and the town is linked to Fort William by the A830 road - the "Road to the Isles".

The village of Mallaig was founded in the 1840s, when Lord Lovat, owner of North Morar Estate, divided up the farm of Mallaigvaig into seventeen parcels of land and encouraged his tenants to move to the western part of the peninsula and turn to fishing as a way of life.[1] The population and local economy expanded rapidly in the 20th century with the arrival of the railway.

    @CharlesGuice @Croftsphoto the train from Frt W to Mallaig is also a good option but IoS is best in a car. Beware that best B&Bs book fast!
