It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Tome!<\/p>\n
Remote Or Is It Remote?<\/span><\/p>\n The left turn is clearly marked just after the obligatory hotel in the middle of nowhere. There isn’t much more at Lochailort.<\/p>\n Of course all the toad signs are bi-lingual!<\/p>\n This is the way that Sheil Buses service 507 goes.<\/p>\n Its main targets, c\/o Sheik Buses web site, are …<\/p>\n … the head of Loch Sunart …<\/p>\n The 507 follows the road to Lpchaline (actually pretty much the only road!) something of a metropolis in these parts!<\/p>\n Just past the shop, restaurant and filling station (metropolis indeed) is the sign to the third access point, the ferry from Fishnish on the Island of Mull.<\/p>\n This has the feel of a local link …<\/p>\n … not at all as grsnd as the main ferry from Oban. That is a proper “sail”!<\/p>\n The Lochaline to Fishnish route takes its customers a few miles from Tobermory …<\/p>\n … famous for its multi-coloured waterside dwellings.<\/p><\/div>\n Here viewers of a certain age might expect to find Miss Houlie (striped), Evie McCredie (blue) and, of course, Archie The Professor (pink)! His castle sits above the town, renamed Balamory for the cameras.<\/p>\n For motorists and white-van-man the route via Corran and Lochaline is probably significantly quicker than the big boat from Oban.<\/p>\n As with so many of these very rural routes, the timetable is very much orientated round school requirement, in this case Ardnamurchan High.<\/p>\n The through unschool service to and from the mainland at Fyprt William runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays only.<\/p>\n But did you spot that extension by request (letter\u00a0R<\/span>) from and to Drimmin about half an hour beyond Lochaline.<\/p><\/div>\n It is the end of the road! Drimmin Slip …<\/p>\n
