Creag Mhor towers behind Ach na skia Croft

The horses meet Hannah and Molly

Ach na skia is a 7 acre croft in the crofting community by the sea at Back of Keppoch, a mile north of the village of Arisaig. Horses graze our field and in the neighbouring fields are horses and cows, including Robbie's Highland, Fraoch (Gaelic for heather). The pigs, Hannah and Molly are happy in their new home at Morar, their work here done.

Fraoch

To the front (W.) are the islands of Eigg and Rum and ( N.W.) Skye, with the jagged peaks of the Cuillin ridge looming behind the Sleat peninsular. Creag Mhor towers behind the croft, and part of the peat bog to the north east is designated as a S.S.S.I. From Spring 2003 the new road, bypassing Arisaig, will run across the bog quarter of a mile behind the croft.

Skye and the Cuillins from Back of Keppoch

All our properties have extensive views and you are almost guaranteed to be treated to a gorgeous sunset or two from early summer on. Due to the northerly latitude, in June the sun hardly sets, but skirts around just below the horizon.

Sunset between Rum and Skye from the Cottage

".. sunshine from dawn till dusk nearly every day - 20+hours." Towell - Stockton

Winter in the Highlands can be a special time. "Views of Cuillins of Skye, Eigg and Rum covered with snow were quite spectacular." Thomson - Stirling

Frost at Glenfinnan
