| Directions |
| |  From Plockton take the road to Durinish and go straight on to Balmacara, passing by Durinish and Balmacara Square. You will eventually reach the main A87 road where you should turn left and continue on for a couple of miles (passing the location used for the interior of the Stag Bar) and after a few more miles the turnoff to the A890 - the road which appears in "More than a Game" and the turnoff to Avernich which appears in "In search of a rose". |
 |
| | Carry on past the turnoff for Loch Long. After a few more miles you will pass the turnoff to Carr Brae. Carry on past this and also the Kintail Lodge Hotel. When you reach Shiel Bridge take the turnoff on the right to Glenelg and the Skye Ferry. |
| | Follow the increasingly steep single track road up to the Bealach Ratagain. There is a car park on the right near a sharp bend which has the best views along Loch Duich and the Glen Shiel mountains. Alternatively there is another car park further up the hill on the right. |
