 | | A cluttered, noisy port whose pebble-dashed houses struggle for space with great lumps of granite tumbling down to the sea, MALLAIG, 47 miles west of Fort William along the A830 (regular buses and trains run this route), is not pretty. |
 | | The continuing source of the village's wealth is its thriving fishing industry: on the quayside, piles of nets, tackle and ice crates lie scattered around a bustling modern market. |
 | | Mallaig is a compact place, concentrated around the harbour, where you'll find the tourist office (April-Oct Mon-Sat 10am-6pm; Nov-March Mon, Wed and Fri 11am-3pm; tel 01687/462170), which will book accommodation, and the bus and train stations. |
