Very very small ferry terminal - When I was there in July 2023 there was no coffee shop. Timetables & fares: https://www.calmac.co.uk/article/2975/Mull-Lochaline---Fishnish

Kinlochaline Castle is a 15th-century Scottish tower house on the Ardtornish estate. It sits at the head of Loch Aline and has now been renovated to a family home.

Leacraithnaich Bothy overlooks Loch Teàrnait, a small, lowland, freshwater loch on the Ardtornish Estate on the Morvern peninsula. Recently renovated, this four-person hut has two rooms, each with a double sleeping platform. There is also a small bothy library and two handy bench tables in each room. There is a fireplace in one of the rooms. The bothy can be accessed by bike, but be prepared for a long climb up a bumpy stoney track that is best suited for mountain bikes or a gravel bike with at least 38" tyres. Before the stoney track, you'll enjoy smooth tarmac through the Ardtornish Estate, and will even pass a farm shop selling local food and snacks.

Wander along the beach to easily find fossilised Gryphea, relatives of the oysters deposited here 200M years ago during the Jurassic period when this area was closer to the equator

often the only place 'open' for coffee or a warming whisky in the winter months, so worthy of a highlight purely for that! even when 'closed to non-residents', they were good enough to let me in for a cuppa, and even gave me a few biscuits! very welcome 2/3 of the way through a long, cold January ride!
