Town: Knoydart, a remote and rugged peninsula in the Scottish Highlands, offers a unique escape from the mainland as it is only accessible by boat or on foot. Nestled between Loch Nevis and Loch Hourn, this area is a haven for walkers with its four munros. The main village, Inverie, features essential amenities like a Post Office, primary school, shop, tearoom, and The Old Forge, the UK's remotest pub. The Knoydart Foundation, which purchased the estate in 1999, manages the land, fostering a thriving community engaged in tourism, forestry, and farming. The Inverie pier supports daily ferry services, facilitating visitor access and essential supplies. With year-round attractions for hill walkers, boatsmen, and artists, Knoydart provides visitors an experience to enjoy its stunning landscapes and vibrant community life.
