BY
ROAD
Take the A830 from Fort William towards Mallaig. The road is slow
in places; the journey should take about 45 minutes. On reaching
Arisaig you will find a choice of roads now that the new road bypasses
the village. You can continue on the new road to the second turn-off,
which is sign-posted to Ach na skia Croft or you can turn off and
go through the village. Once through the village, turn first left
and then left again, on the coast road. The road rises up away from
the sea and past the R.C. church on the left. After a few more bends
and the second left turn the road drops down towards the sea again.
After a sharp right hand bend, with the small Cnoc na Faire Hotel
set back on the hill to the left, you will see the Back of Keppoch
road end on your left at the bottom of the hill. Pass this road
end and we are the white house on the right (the first house on
the right after leaving the village). Distance from village is about
a mile.
If you are coming from Mallaig on the new road you will find us
sign-posted at the first turn-off after Morar, to the right.
