Loch na Droma Buidhe (Loch of the Yellow Hill),commonly known as Loch Drumbuie, is an intriguing but over-popular anchorage, not surprisingly as it has long been known as "an extraordinary good place to ride in" (Murdoch Mackenzie, Nautical Descriptions of the West Coast of Great Britain from Bristol Channel to Cape-Wrath, London, 1776). If you want to get away from the crowds of Tobermory it's not bad but maybe there are better alternatives. However, it is ideal for windsurfing, paddle boarding or dinghy sailing because there is no way you can get blown out to sea! Otherwise there is not a lot to 'do' here. The southwest corner has a suitable rocky beach for a barbeque with plenty of wood lying around, and the deciduous woods along the south shore and up the hill are lovely. I am not sure why this loch is such a popular anchorage — maybe because it is near Tobermory but is not Tobermory, or maybe because it has a fascinatingly narrow entrance (Caolas nan Conn, Strait of the Dogs), but I guess mostly because it is very well sheltered from all wind directions.
One can get to the track between Drimnin and Doirlinn, easiest from the anchorage about half-a-mile inside the loch on the south side, and take the very nice walk to the West Kyle of Carna and a view of Loch Teacuis. Or walk the other way, up the hill and westwards to explore the abandoned villages of Sornagan, Portabhata and, almost hidden in the forest, Auliston. Sornagan is the nearest, found on the left hand side of the burn as you go up the hill, a collection of four ruined houses, one quite big. They were only occupied for the first half of the 19th century. How people survived here is hard to imagine, quite a way from the shore for easy fishing and no obvious ground to till. All were 'cleared' in the 19th century.
