I may have written two blogs about the Ardnamurchan area already (the first in 2015 and another in 2016), but the area keeps drawing me back. I'll never tire of the place...
The journey is dramatic enough - from the domineering vista of Loch Lomond and the surrounding hills, to the one my favourite views in the UK; Glencoe, it's worth stopping a few times en route. Then crossing the Corran ferry towards Strontian, the landscape demands your attention. I can't help but be distracted at the view, particularly as I reach Loch Sunart. I've been lucky on every visit so far that the weather has been calm, and there's a stillness about the place with water as smooth as glass reflecting the towering hills above.
That's before I've even reached the cottage I'd rented for the week and the reason for travelling to the area - Pine Marten. Ardnamurchan is a stronghold for these "weasels' on steroids". It's also a haven for much more wildlife and, combine that with the Isle of Mull not being far away, you've got a world-class wildlife destination.

Here's the story of my trip there in 2018...
