Property for sale in Mallaig
Mallaig is a fishing port in Lochaber on the west coast of Scotland. It lies 150 miles north of Glasgow, at the end of the Road to the Isles, and has a population of about 1,000. Mallaig is a major centre for the shellfish industry, and a busy port for ferries sailing to and from the Isle of Skye and the Small Isles. Until the 20th century, the village was only accessible by sea or via a long trek through the glens. Consequently, after his defeat at the battle of Culloden in 1746, it was where Bonnie Prince Charlie sought refuge from the Red Coats. But today, thanks to films such as Local Hero and Harry Potter, the English have discovered that Mallaig lies on a coastline of pure-white sandy beaches, backed by spectacular mountain scenery. The train journey between Mallaig and Fort William is on the line used by the world famous Hogwarts Express, and is one of BBC television's '10 Great Railway Journeys of the World'.
