Myself and eight-year old son braved some pretty Scottish weather to paddle around for a couple of hours and were repaid with a great sighting of a seal family. We were well kitted out by the centre and well guided on the trip itself by Warwick. The whole experience from booking to finish was great and I highly recommend it.

Having recently watched Local Hero we decided on an 8 hour round trip to finally see "Ben's Beach". The views were spoiled by the rain, however the beach itself was nothing special. Elie is much better.

Enjoyed the short visit i made here. The exhibits on the part Arasaig and the surrounding areas played in World War 2 were very enlightening and humbling. Some very brave people trained here and many were to later lose their lives. Lest we forget.

5. Traigh Golf Course

Traigh golf course is a 9 hole course with spectacular views overlooking Traigh beach, appropriately Triagh means beach in Gaelic. It can be reached on the scenic coast route to Mallaig that starts just after Arisaig. It is worth visiting.
The course and Beaches provide stunning views to the Hebridean Islands of Eigg and Rum, and the Cuillins of Skye. The area is well worth a stop including an explore of the Beaches, dunes and rocks. It was totally deserted when we visited. The golf course has a private parking opposite but there is also a parking area for those that want to access the beach a further few hundred metres on.
A recommended stop to explore the area.

Highly recommended for a couple of hours diversion. Surprisingly relaxing and totally addictive, we were one of Arisaig Archery's first customers as it's only just opened. Great fun, knowledgeable instructors and then off to the Crofters Bar for a drink after. Perfect.
7. St Marys RC Church
Overall Ratings
5 based on 1 reviews
St Mary’s Arisaig dates from 1849. The Rev. William McIntosh was determined to make a statement in stone and built high from a low site. Inside St Mary’s the impression of height is still more powerful, with lancet windows above eight-foot wood panelling, an organ gallery in the tower, and - most striking of all - a very tall triplet window behind the altar.

Wonderful, historic building with a magnificent stained glass window. I am happy I had a chance to see it.

This cemetery made us stop our scenic drive along the B8008, just north of Arisaig, both because it's so pretty, as well as for all the information boards explaining the historical significance of the place. (See the website link for more information.) If you're fond of the gaelic poet Alexander Macdonald, you'll want to stop here. I was there for the view over Arisaig.
