Ballachulish ( Glencoe )

Ballachulish lies just north of Glencoe village, by the shore of Loch Leven and surrounded by mountains. The village is famous for its slate quarry which produced hand-made roof slates to markets all around the world. Now closed, the village's exhibition tells the unique story of the men who worked there.

Ballachulish has a good choice of accommodation and local services. Walking and sight-seeing are just a few of the things to do. A bus service operates from the village to Fort William and Oban.

North Ballachulish is on the north shore of Loch Leven, as you cross the Ballachulish road bridge, which spans the narrows of Loch Leven/Loch Linnhe. This is where the old ferry provided access to either shore, with an alternative scenic drive around Loch Leven, via Kinlochleven. The drive today is both peaceful and enjoyable with many picnic spots and great views. Bishop's Bay on the north shore of Loch Leven, on the Kinlochleven road is a natural haven for yachts
