Grade B
Starting with open views out to the Cuillins of Skye the loch leads into the heart of the mountains with the Knoydart munros towering overhead. With remote small islands and plenty of wildlife along the way this is a great place to while away some time exploring. Whether it be for a half-day or multiple days Loch Hourn has plenty to offer.
