Knoydart, Highland
Height: Ladhar Bheinn 3343 feet, Meall Buidhe 3107 feet and Luinne Bheinn 3083 feet.
One of the last wilderness areas in the UK, the Knoydart peninsula is only accessible by boat from Mallaig or by a 20 mile hike on foot.
Flanked by Loch Nevis in the south and the fjord-like inlet of Loch Hourn to the north, Knoydart's mountains sweep straight out of the sea and are shrouded for much of the time in a pall of grey mist
Knoydart is traditionally known as the "rough bounds" because of its remoteness and it is a national scenic area.
The area is managed by the Knoydart Foundation which was established in 1997 to take ownership of the Knoydart Estate. As a partnership of local residents and other organisations, the Foundation's aim is to preserve, enhance and develop Knoydart for the well being of the environment and the local people.
