Take the A830 from Fort William towards Mallaig. The road is slow in places; the journey should take about 45 minutes. On reaching Arisaig continue through the village. The road rises up away from the sea and past the R.C. church on the left. After a few more bends the road drops down towards the sea again. After a sharp right hand bend, with the small Cnoc na Faire Hotel set back on the hill to the left, you will see the Back of Keppoch road end on your left at the bottom of the hill. Pass this road end and we are the white house on the right (the first house on the right after leaving the village). Distance from village is about a mile. N.B. If you are coming after Spring 2003 you will find the village has a by-pass! Ignore the bypass and follow the directions above, going through the village and keeping on the coast road.
