The Corran Ferry, which carries travellers across Loch Linnhe south of Fort William and serves as a portal to so many remote and wonderful places. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/corran/corranferry/index.html

The less than obvious remains of the Old Fort, or Fort William, after which the town visible in the background is named. The fort was built in 1690 on the site of a wooden Cromwellian citadel. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/fortwilliam/oldfort/index.html

In terms of drama, the stunning region of Lochaber in the western Scottish Highlands, is probably up there as having some of the finest landscapes I have come across in my travels around the UK.
It's often marketed as the 'Outdoor Capital of the UK' centered around Fort William at the foot of mighty Ben Nevis.
This view is looking west across Loch Eil towards Glenfinnan on the 'Road To The Isles'.

Inverlochy Castle near Fort William. Built from around 1280 it was overtaken by history not once, but twice: first by a Cromwellian citadel built in 1654 and then by a Scots baronial style Inverlochy Castle built not far away in 1863.

This former fishing boat, originally built in 1975 as the MV 'Dayspring' and later undergoing a name change to 'Golden Harvest', lies wrecked on the shores of the Scottish Highland's Loch Linnhe, near Fort William.
The boat ran ashore during a heavy storm on 8 December 2011 and that's where she has been ever since.
The 'Corpach Wreck', as it is known, makes for an arresting sight as it sits on loch's shingle beach against the backdrop of Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis.
I have visited and taken photographs at this spot numerous times, but it has been a rare occasion indeed to be able to capture the 'Ben' cloud-free.
In fact, if you zoom in just to the right of the boat's mast, you can make out the mountain's final section of footpath as it zig-zags up to the summit at 1,345 metres (4,413 ft).

Glen Roy's "parallel roads", north of Roybridge in Lochaber. Long held in folklore to be hunting paths used by the Celtic warrior Fingal, they actually mark different shore lines of a vast ancient loch created by glacial ice.

Dave’s Pop-up Vegan Cafe

📄 Example menu

This summer you can explore bonny Knoydart on the West Coast and not compromise on vegan treats with a fab vegan Saturday pop-up.

We’ve still not made it out west to visit Dave’s cafe, so we’re excited to welcome a guest review courtesy of Jenny and Holly who hiked to Knoydart last week.

Dave’s Pop Up Vegan Cafe does exactly that – pops up every Saturday over the summer in the space that is the Knoydart Pottery and Tea Rooms during the week, but the situation and food go beyond doing what it says on the tin name. The simple and short breakfast and lunch menu is slightly different each week with freshly cooked and lovingly prepared meals, and Dave manages to be a welcoming and helpful host while running the kitchen.

You will struggle to beat the view from Inverie in Knoydart and there’s not many cafes, especially not vegan cafes, where the adventure by boat or foot are part of the experience and Dave’s considerate enterprise fits in well with the eco-friendly, community ethos of the remote peninsula. Dave aims to please and is still excited to tell you about the food and cakes he makes and sells. As well as being entirely vegan, gluten free is happily catered for.

We visited for breakfast are enjoyed overnight oats, full vegetarian breakfasts and homemade baked beans on toast (gluten-free bread was happily available), but are looking for a reason to return for lunch and cakes, where the Buddha bowls topped with falafel or onion bhajis and homemade mango cheesecake, millionaire’s shortcake or croissants were just some of the goodies tempting another visit.

Dave’s changing menu features healthy packed Buddha bowls with falafel, bhajis or tempeh, cooked breakfast with homemade baked beans, cherry tomatoes, tempeh and sausages, sun-dried tomato flan and more. All the dishes are made from scratch and the salad is even grown locally and freshly harvested. Sweet treats include epic fruity cheesecakes, decadent biscoff brownies and cherry Bakewell tarts.
