Description

Smirisary is a small ancient village in an idyllic spot overlooking the Sound of Arisaig. There is an intriguing mixture of old and new cottages spread around the coastline. It is a great walk for kids and there is ample opportunity to explore this magnificent coastline. Our route begins in a small bay not far from Glenuig which is an excellent picnic spot in itself. It follows an old coastal path which is a little obscure at one part but never too far away from the road which is our return route. If you are in the area, I can really recommend this one for a sunny afternoon or evening, with the chance of a brilliant sunset over the Sound of Arisaig.

Access Info

Turn off the A861 at Glenuig and continue on a single-track road to a lay-by opposite Samalaman Island. The beach here is a popular picnic spot. There is ample parking space.
