In the village itself there is a Post Office and Tea Room, a garage, a Take-Away, a Bakery (which produces fresh bread, pies etc daily), an Out of Doors shop and a grocery store. There is also a Medical Centre and a dentist in the village.

Things to see and do
Our roads are uncrowded and fascinating. The Sunart Oakwoods project has revitalised the area, with the clearance of invasive species to reveal the hills and shores of Loch Sunart, the longest east-west sea loch in Britan.

There is an abundance of beautiful walks, beaches, and wildlife in Ardnamurchan - we've been known to have otters in our garden ponds on occasion. Otters are common on Lochs Sunart, Ailort and Moidart, and sightings of Golden and White-tailed Sea Eagles are reported daily.

Walkers will find uncrowded hills with fabulous views and stunning geology - the whole area was shaped by the most recent ice age, and far longer ago by volcanic activity - the calderas on Ben Hiant and near Ardnamurchan Point, 55 million years old, are a must. The historian or archaeologist will find much of interest in the many abandoned settlements scattered all over the peninsula.
