 Glenelg peninsula Guide and Holiday Cottages
South of Loch Duich, the Glenelg peninsula, jutting out into the Sound of Sleat, is the isolated and little-known crofting area featured in Gavin Maxwell's otter novel, Ring of Bright Water.
Maxwell disguised the identity of this pristine stretch of coast by calling it "Camusfearnà", and it has remained a tranquil backwater in spite of the traffic that trickles through during the summer for the Kylerhea ferry to Skye (we've listed details of the wildlife sanctuary at Eilean Ban, once Maxwell's home).
The Glenelg Inn (tel 01599/522273, www.glenelg-inn.com; £70-90) is a wonderful spot to discover at the end of so remote a road, with food served all day and a good chance of live music from any local musicians who happen to be in the pub.
