Morar

Morar sands, with Eigg and Rhum in the distance - Halfway between Arisaig and Mallaig, stop and admire the beautiful Morar estuary, a huge expanse of gleaming sand at low tide and a beach walker's ideal. Observe in passing the sheer weight of water pouring into the estuary from the falls of Morar, themselves fed by the shortest river in the United Kingdom (just a quarter-mile long). Loch Morar, over 1000 feet deep, is one of Scotland's deepest and provides a lovely walk along its northern shores with vast vistas of loch and mountain scenery. Legend has it that "Morag", perhaps a relative of "Nessie", lurks in its depth.
