Knoydart April 2021

Knoydart, Scotland
As a weekend trip we kayaked into the remote peninsula of Knoydart in western Scotland. Leaving from Arnisdale we crossed Loch Hourn and left the kayaks and camping gear at Inbhir Dhorrcail. We then walked a horseshoe loop up of Coire Dhorrcail to Ladhar Bheinn summit. A grand Scottish hill and magnificent viewpoint. The next day we paddled up the fjord like Loch Hourn and back to Arnisdale, with a stop off on the way back at Glen Elg brochs. A great wee mini adventure!
