Explore Kintail and beyond from a base near Kyle of Lochalsh
Kintail sits on the Road to the Isles, where the Atlantic Ocean meets some of the oldest mountains on earth.
“Where the lochs meet the mountains and the eagles and buzzards circle overhead, where the stags roar to possess their territory, and heron hunt as salmon begin their journey upstream”
How to find John Fisher’s Cottage
The cottage lies in central Kintail at the head of the tidal waters of Loch Duich, where spring high tides reach the bottom of the garden. A causeway carries the A87 to Kyle of Lochalsh, 20 km away, across Loch Duich on the seaward side of the cottage, leaving the former main road as a quiet lane to the crofting hamlet of Cairngorm. For mapping, see OS Map No. 33 (1:50,000) “Lochalsh & Glenshiel”, grid ref 956208.
