Knoydart

From Free net encyclopedia

Image:Inverie Knoydart.jpg Knoydart is a peninsula in Lochaber, Highland, on the west coast of Scotland, sandwiched between Loch Nevis and Loch Hourn—often translated as "Heaven" and "Hell" respectively.

It is sometimes referred to as "Britain's last Wilderness", and has a resident population of roughly 100 adults. It is only accessible by boat, or by a 16 mile (26 km) walk through rough country. It has seven miles of tarred road, which is not connected to the UK road system.

It includes the Munros of Ladhar Bheinn (1020 m) and Sgurr na Ciche (1040 m).
