Sanna Bay

Amongst the white sands, clear turquoise seas and verdant machair, it is easy to forget the community that once thrived here and the score of captains it wed to the sea to support the croft.

Not as aurally gifted as some of its near neighbours, there is still plenty to sing about in this last gift to god’s own country. Above the high-water mark the dunes support a wonderful array of plants, birds and beasties, and below it is a crabbing delight.  I bet it gave Slartibartfast a run for his money.

Six miles on from Kilchoan and in sight of the lighthouse, the views out to The Small Isles and beyond are truly majestic. It is rarely busy here which suits most folk just fine. Alasdair has it about right for Ardnamurchan – it’s the big rock candy mountain.

The full spectrum, above and below the water line, this is the home of the Deep Sea Light. Let’s not say it’s the last chance to see – just don’t leave it too late.
