Self catering accommodation on the north shore of Loch Morar in the West Highlands of Scotland. We are located on the north shore at Bracara.
We are located on the West Coast of Scotland near the port of Mallaig on the beautiful Loch Morar, this unique loch is the deepest body of freshwater in the British Isles at 310m and is 11.7 miles long. We have a small croft with mainly Hebridean sheep, chickens and ducks. Our two self catering properties both sleep two people and offer a quite get away for two. The Byres is the old converted cro
ft house situated prominently overlooking the loch. It has spacious modern accommodation for two with a picture window with views of the Loch, super kings sized bed or twin on request, separate kitchen and shower room. The perfect romantic hideaway, simply relax and enjoy the view or explore the wonders of the local area including the Small Isles, Knoydart and Ardnamurchan. The Wee Lodge is our glamping pod, a small but perfectly formed step up from camping or alternatively, an on-suite room with a view and small kitchen. Sit on the decking and enjoy the view with sheep grazing nearby and ducks playing in the stream.

Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea)– These elegant birds are a common sight both at the coast and around Loch Morar. They have a wingspan of 175-195cm and are resident all year round.

Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo)
Resident at Bracara all year round, this attractive bird of prey is regularly seen patrolling the skies above the croft. They have a wingspan of between 113-128cm so considerable smaller than the Eagles but impressive none the less.

Spotted this lovely little Lesser Redpoll (Acanthis cabaret) on the croft a few days ago. This little finch is conservation status red, it is resident in this area but not a common sighting.

Just beyond Arisaig, the Rhu Peninsular stretches out past the Arisaig Skerries towards the Small Isles and Ardnamurchan. A lovely country drive along a single track road eventually ends in a small car park. From here you can undertake a lovely walk out to Port Nam Murrach a gorgeous little beach with amazing views. Ideal for a spot of wild swimming or a wee paddle

On this particular trip I was also excited to spot Lesser Redpoll, Yellowhammer, Common Terns and Gannets as well as the resident Belted Galloway Cattle.

Gorgeous morning at Bracara😊

Had a fabulous day trip with Arisaig Marine on Sunday. Loch Courisk and the Black Cullins from Arisaig on MV Sheerwater. It’s the most beautiful loch to visit surrounded by the towering Black Cullins, and a real treat to get there by 2 hour boat crossing from Arisaig. Sightings of Dolphins, Great Skua, Gannet, Common Tern and Manx Sheerwater as well as Black Guillemot and Common Seals around the Skerries at Arisaig. Although this was a limited event by Arisaig Marine you can get to see Loch Courisk during your stay by driving over to Elgol on Skye and heading out with Bella Jane Boat Trips who do regular boat trips to Loch Courisk from Elgol through out the season.

A walk along the Rhu Peninsula from Arisaig always offers up some interesting wildlife. Seals and birds aplenty. This particular trip included lovely sightings of Common Sandpipers (Actitis hypoleucos) a summer visitor with a very distinctive 3 note song and bobbing action. Also Foxgloves adding a lovely dash of pink.

Otters feeding in the mouth of the River Morar this afternoon on the rising tide. Not great pictures but you get the idea :-)

Gorgeous Heath Spotted and Fragrant Orchids in bloom in one of our fields. Managed to encourage biodiversity the orchids are flourishing and provide a dash of colour on a rather dreich day :-)

Our lovely neighbour Malcolm sheared some of our sheep this afternoon and don't they look fine :-) 13 down 7 to go...... just as soon as I manage to round them up!

Someone else eating our grass! A small number of Greylag Geese (Anser anser) breed at Loch Morar, at this time of year they form rafts of bird floating on the loch and visit fields in search of fresh grass

Have we become a deer farm ?! Don’t they look relaxed! Enjoying our grass....

The Cuckoo comes in April, sings its song in May, changes its tune in the middle of June and then it flies away. Amazing view of a Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) on the croft this morning. This red listed species is a joy to see even if their breeding methods are a bit dubious!
