Camas Malag Bay

A few minutes walk from the cottage takes you to the lovely picturesque Camas Malag bay, with a pebble beach and wonderful views over Loch Slapin to Bla Bheinn. From here you can continue on the popular circular loop walk to Suishnish and Boreraig, the ruined coastal villages which are a reminder of the Highland Clearances.
