Lochailort attractions |
|
 Lochailort is at the head of Loch Ailort where the
A861 joins the A830. The loch is one of the many sea-lochs that
stretch in from the Hebrides. The origins of Lochailort date
back to at least 1650 when an inn was recorded here, and by 1750
the settlement had grown enough to feature on a map as Kinloch
Hoylort. Early in the 1800s Lochailort saw its first road with
the arrival of Thomas Telford and his "Road to the Isles"
from Fort William to Arisaig, and much later to Mallaig. A fish
farming company here breed salmon and other species, with farming
units in Loch Ailort itself. |
