Lochaber

Seafood on Davies Brae and Loch Linnhe.

Dinner in Lochaber is often seafood, landed a few steps away. Mallaig has family restaurants up from the harbour serving mussels, langoustines and fish and chips, and a wee pub with live music on Saturdays. In Fort William you'll find seafood platters on Cameron Square and French-inspired cooking in a house full of paintings. On the shore of Loch Linnhe, a hotel dining room has its own beach, and at Kingairloch an old boathouse cooks the estate's venison, beef and lamb. At Inverie, the community pub and a bistro above Loch Nevis wait at the end of a boat ride. Book ahead, as tables go quickly in summer.

Lodge on the Loch.

Everything about the Lodge on the Loch points at the water. The hotel stands on the shore of Loch Linnhe at Onich, between Glencoe and Fort William, with its own private beach and the mountains rising across the loch. The dining room looks straight out over it all, so ask for a table by the window, whether it's breakfast or dinner after a day on the hill. Afterwards there's a whisky lounge for a dram by the view. It makes an easy stop for a meal on the road north.

The Boathouse, Kingairloch.

On the quiet shore of Loch a' Choire, deep in the Kingairloch Estate, an old stone boathouse with white gables has become a restaurant. The kitchen cooks from the estate itself: its own venison, beef and lamb, fruit and vegetables from the walled garden, and seafood from the coast. Diners rave about the oysters, the fish pie and the view down the loch. There's a Sunday roast too. Booking is essential, and sailors can tie up at one of the moorings in front and come ashore by the slip.

Did you know9 hours ago

The Old Forge at Inverie, on the Knoydart peninsula, is billed as the most remote pub on mainland Britain, and no road leads to it.

Knoydart's seven miles of tarred road are not connected to the rest of the UK road system, so the only ways in are by boat or on foot. A ferry crosses from Mallaig to Inverie, or you can walk 16 miles through rough country to get there. The peninsula is sometimes called Britain's last wilderness, and the Old Forge is its only pub. Since March 2022 the pub has been owned by the Knoydart community itself.

Café Canna.

Café Canna is a little award-winning restaurant and bar in a whitewashed cottage on the shore of Canna harbour. Almost everything on the menu comes from within sight of the door: seafood from the waters around the island, seaweed from its shores, meat from the farm and vegetables from the gardens. The room is bright and simple, with pine tables and the sea outside the window. It opens from spring to early autumn and is often full in summer, so book ahead. It's well worth planning a day on Canna around.

Lime Tree Hotel.

The Lime Tree is a stone house with bright blue doors on Achintore Road, looking over Loch Linnhe, and it's a hotel, a restaurant and a gallery all at once. Paintings, many of them Highland landscapes, line the corridors and lounges. Its restaurant, the Silly Goose at the Lime Tree, cooks French-inspired food with a Scottish twist, using Highland ingredients. Afterwards, settle into one of the warm, red-walled lounges with their maps, books and fire. Dogs are welcome in the lounges, and if you ask ahead the staff will set a table for you both.
