Eilean na Nighinn

Eilean na Nighinn is a small islet near Ardfern in Argyll and Bute, where you can drop anchor and soak up the quietly dramatic Scottish Highland scenery. The real draw is nearby Loch Avich, home to Caisteal na Nighinn Ruaidhe — a ruinous Campbell stronghold sitting on a heavily wooded island that's well worth exploring if you can get ashore.
