HISTORY

Ardgour is situated at the Corran Narrows on the eastern side of the Ardnamurchan Penninsular.

The Corran Narrows is the part of Loch Linnhe that shrinks to approx 200 yards. Here the ferry has plied to and fro for some hundreds of years, from just a row-boat to todays modern, passenger / vehicle ferry.

The ferry was upgraded to transport vehichles in 1935, this meant that the time-consuming but delightful journey round the loch was cut to just a simple crossing.

On crossing the water, you enter into the beautiful but sparsley populated districts of Ardgour, Morvern, and Ardnamurchan :- a very remote area which was reliatively unknow and inaccessible to the traveller during the 1800's but now a very popular holiday destination.

The original 'Road to the Isles' was over the Corran Narrows and at the top of the slipway on the Ardnamurchan side of Loch Linnhe lies the old Inn at Ardgour, Fort William.

Hospitality has been offered here to travellers for hundreds and although the buildings have been altered, the traditional welcome remains the same. Click here to view the photo gallery. Click here to view our NEW E-brochure (Microsoft Power Point required).
