About Loch Sheil view point

A fabulous upgraded walk around the point at Polloch Pier. 2 viewpoints take you to spectacular vistas of Glen Hurich and Loch Sheil - some of the best views in the area.

How to get there:

Loch Sheil view point can be started from Polloch car park in Glen Hurich which is part of Sunart Oakwood. Polloch is the nearest town or village.

Once you have entered the Glen from Strontian, stay on the asphalt road until you cross the Polloch River past the telephone box.

The car park is an open area, with some old buildings housing a craft shop and the Sunart Oakwood Research Group.
