The big draw for many visitors is Skye, just a short 30 minute crossing from the mainland and yet a whole other world away once there. But don't let that overshadow the many charms of Raasay and the Small Isles too.

CalMac ferries have done us proud, all round the Outer Hebrides and to & from the mainland. Clean to covid standards, bright, super range of seating and lounges, good bars, always left on time and a fab way of seeing the islands and approaches. The fares for foot passengers were surprisingly inexpensive. Why go on a cruise when you can sail CalMac?
5. Loch Morar

Loch Morar is the deepest loch in Scotland & rumour has it Morag the loch monster lives there. She is the sister of the Loch Ness monster. The loch has some lovely walks around its perimeter and above in the mountains. I have fished the loch on many occasions both off the shore and from my boat. You do need to get a permit before fishing. A really nice place.

Return trip to Mallaig by car this time, beautiful sunny day. Waiting on ferry over to Skye so wandered back into heritage centre. Same cheery lady was on and overheard her once again giving directions to Restaurants in Mallaig. She remembered me too, spent time having a look around and bought bits in the shop. Well worth spending time in the heritage, lovely cheery staff. Lovely visit to a busy Mallaig on Wednesday 28 August hope to be back next year.
