Kilmory, Highland

Kilmory, Highland

Kilmory ("Cill Mhóire" in Gaelic meaning "Mary's Cell" or "Church of Mary") is a small crofting hamlet on the north coast of Ardnamurchan, western Scotland.

It is reached by a branch road off the B8007 that runs from Salen to Achosnich via Kilchoan. All the roads in Ardnamurchan are single track. There is an excellent view north from the junction with the B8007 to the islands of R%C3%B9m, Eigg, Muck and Canna. The road descends gently northwards, crosses the Achateny Water that drains Loch Mudle, passes through Branault and on to Kilmory, Swordle and Ockle.

The branch road that enters Kilmory continues to its end at Balnaha Croft.

A rough track (access on foot only) leads to Kilmory Bay which is an excellent, sheltered bay with clear water, white sands and black, volcanic rock. It is one of the few sandy beaches on Ardnamurchan.
