Inverie is Britain’s most remote village. No roads reach the surrounding Knoydart Peninsula. Eagle spotting, beach riding and scallop diving are off-limits - unless you charter a private yacht.
Inverie is Scotland at its most feral. Follow a ranger to stalk deer. Paddleboard inside a sea cave. Enjoy a barbecue on a deserted beach. Inverie also hosts Britain’s remotest pub, The Old Forge. It can only be reached by boat, or by a 30km hike over Scottish mountains. That’s a hard hike for a pint of Remoteness, a pale ale specially brewed for the establishment.

Reasons to visit Inverie
Think Inverie (population 120) was isolated? Set sail for the Small Isles of Eigg (83), Muck (27), Rùm (22) and Canna (12). The largest island of Rùm is a Nature Reserve where red deer graze volcanic peaks. Eigg is alive with Iron Age forts and Viking burial mounds. Muck is best for otters and seals. While little Canna has one café and zero worries. Your luxury yacht will form the biggest accommodation in town.

Loch Nevis is a wild sea loch that tourism forgot. Borrow your captain's binoculars to spot dolphins and sea eagles, plus minke whales that spawn here in high summer. Activities are time-honoured. Try hauling in your own lobster pots, fishing for mackerel from your RIB, or hiking where Vikings once landed. Need a lost-in-time snapshot on your Nikon? There’s little trace of the 21st century to be seen.
To reach Invernie and the Knoydart Peninsula, even the horses have to travel by boat. Mount up and trot along empty beaches and mountain paths. You won't see another soul. Views? Hold your horses! The Small Isles of Rum and Eigg glitter seaward, while the Munros peaks shimmer snow-capped to the east. Take a rest around an open-fire at lunch. Hands up for barbecued venison.
Mallaig is a bona fide Scottish fishing village. If the scallops and monkfish don't tempt you, the local haddock will. The entrance to this enchanting port is spectacular. Race your chartered yacht against fishing boats, or ride the Mallaig to Fort William train, one of Britain's most beautiful routes, which featured in Harry Potter. One final bonus? The Silver Sands of Morar. It’s a collection of beaches straight out of the Seychelles.
