Craobh Haven Marina

Highlight • Structure

The village of Craobh Haven was purpose built in the '80s with sailing in mind, boasting a large marina for smaller vessels, typically with private owners.

There's a watersports centre on nearby Eilean Buidhe, so as you can imagine there's a lot of fun to be had here in the warmer summer months.

Loch Ederline

Highlight • Natural

Ederline Loch is part of Ederline Estate, a working farm covering 13,000 acres of moors, lochs and woodland. Set amongst the hills, this beautiful loch is home to rich wildlife including ospreys. You may even spot golden eagles.

Loch Erdine is a popular place to fish thanks to its pike, perch and roach population. There is also a boat house by the loch where you can stop for a picnic.

Loch Avich

Highlight • Viewpoint

Expanding amongst the moors, Loch Avich is a wonderful place to explore. Measuring 3.3 miles (5.3 km) long, this freshwater loch is an unmissable feature in the beautiful landscape. After Loch Awe, Loch Avich is the second largest loch in the Etive basin. On the southwesterly shore, you might spot the ruins of Caisteal na Nighinn Ruaidhe, an ancient castle thought to have once been the original seat of Clan Campbell.
