The remains of a very old jetty
The remains of a very old jetty

Not a lot here. Just an old ruined jetty, some woods with noise from the road above, and maybe something of a beach over in the northeast corner. Too far to walk to Strontian. However, there is an interesting bit of local history. In the mid-19th century a 400-seat floating kirk (in truth a corrugated-iron shed) was built for and used by breakaway members of the Free Church because the local Episcopalian landowner refused to allow them to build a church of their own on his land. A few years later the 'boat' was driven ashore in a storm and any remains must have all now rusted or been taken away. However, in 2016 one of its anchors was found on the seabed in the bay, and there are plans to display it in Strontian.
