Sailing up Loch Linnhe on a good day is tremendously dramatic. Wonderful mountains closing in all around with beautiful broadleaf woods the shores of along Upper Loch Linnhe, particularly on the east side. John McLintock put it well: "In Loch Linnhe one is not at sea at all. Surrounded by great hills, green valleys, and pleasant woodlands, the loch is more of the land than of the sea. Not the ocean, but the bens are masters here" (The Highlands and Western Islands of Scotland, Containing Descriptions of their Scenery and Antiquities. John MacCulloch, Longman et al, 1824). However, there are surprisingly few anchorages north of Lismore, at least delightful ones, even up Loch Leven which gets increasingly dramatic with views up to such well-known mountains — Bidean, the Ballachulish horseshoe and so on.
There are some pretty good places around Loch Linnhe to eat, and one could even construct a rather good week-long gastronomic cruise taking in the Pierhouse and Airds Hotel at Port Appin (one on the way there, the other on the way back), the Holly Tree House Hotel in Kentallen, the Boathouse in Loch a'Choire, the Loch Leven Seafood café, and the Crannog in Fort William.
