The area has some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in Scotland and includes rugged mountains, sea lochs and miles of coastline and sandy beaches. The Ardnamurchan peninsula offers a wealth of activities for the outdoor enthusiast. The landscape is ideal for hill and coastal walking, with magnificent walks to the summit of Ben Hiant, the highest point on the peninsula. Other places of interest are the golden sands of Sanna Bay, the former crofting hamlet of Portuairk, the Ardnamurchan Point lighthouse, Mingary Castle dating back to the Spanish Armada and Kilchoan Old Kirk, which reputedly dates from the 12th/13th century. The area is noted for being very unspoilt and undisturbed, and offers opportunities for stalking and fishing. Ardnamurchan is also home to a diverse range of wildlife, from golden eagles, otters and wildcat to whales and dolphins. Kilchoan provides a good selection of local amenities including the Kilchoan Hotel, which has a restaurant and bar, a village shop and Post Office, a church and local community centre. There is a daily bus service to and from Fort William, and regular sailings to Tobermory on the Isle of Mull (seven per day in the summer months and three per day in the winter) which has a Co-operative supermarket, excellent local restaurants and a dentist. There are primary schools in Kilchoan and Acharacle villages. Fort William provides more extensive facilities including a hospital, mainline railway station, supermarkets and a range of local shops and services. The bustling town of Oban is within reach and offers further amenities and access to the Islands via the ferry terminal.
